Trash culture meets academia is always a good one.Jung was pretty out there. I like his idea of 'racial memory' -
an inherited set of ideas of the world deposited in the collective unconscious.
When you're drifting off to sleep and jerk awake suddenly?
That's a response inherited from your monkey forebears,
who had to keep gripping on to the branch or fall.
If you're a Jungian it is, anyway.

makes sensefrom an evolutionary perspective. I buy it.
In the same way that we all have a swallow reflex/anything reflex.
Don't see how that's racial memory though, so much as the chemical/genetic make-up of our brains that has been left after mother nature has performed her great act of topiary that cuts away all those daft apes incapable of staying awake whilst sitting on high branches...
