Question: What lies just below the surface of your awareness!?
I've been thinking of Freud's theory of the unconscious mind!. He argued that just below the surface of man's consciousness lies sexual and highly aggressive emotions and behavioral urges!. He also thought that man was the worst species there is!.

What are some good arguments to support his reasoning and what are some good arguments against his reasoning!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Edit:
Unfortunately, Freud wasted his life trying to tell people stuff that we already know!. No, there is no emotion at a subconscious level!. What lies beneath our awareness is our memory and beneath that there is nothing else!. Emotions guide us to do, but that doesn't mean they control what we think!. I mean, they can make us think that we are pissed off at something, but that is because on the surface we are angry!. Theories about the subconscious usually don't make any sense and can be thought up in little time without any research!.
Humans are the best species because God created us in his image and everything else for our interactionWww@QuestionHome@Com

It doesn't matter what Frued thinks or says!. He was human too and he was not any better than any of us!. However, I do agree that humans are the worst in all the species, as we are the only species that destroys other creatures or things for fun, or thrills, or sport!. No other animal or creature in God's creation does that!.

It's weird because I feel that one of his other theories could explain some of what he says!.!.!.it sound's like he is just projecting his feelings on all other people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
