Freud the Cynic

I think it can be argued that any causal scientific study could be considered pessimistic because they would be extremely diminutive to any people who believe in free will or spirituality. For the sake of my argument, I will say that Freud is considered pessimistic in this regard because the the ideas he brought forth such as the brain model (id, ego, and superego), dream analysis, and displaced aggression have all been determined by him to be out of our personal control and therefore unable to be changed even if the individual would like to. When we apply this causal way of thinking to Freud's concept of displaced aggression specifically, and the argument introduced by Moghaddam, we arrive at the negative opinion that we redirect our inevitable aggression to a group of people unrelated to the root of our aggression, which may result in discrimination and prejudice as we tend to redirect our aggression to social groups that we are socially conditioned (superego) to oppose. I think this is the most pessimistic Freudian concept because it implies that humanity can never rise above prejudice and hatred, and that no relationship could purely out of love and there is aggression in all aspects of our lives.
