This is not true at all. Freud was a rigorous thinker, and was painstaking with his thought, which he changed as he made more and more observations.
I definitely understand that we feel a huge need to stigmatize him, that there is an overt resistance, its just rather funny to me that despite that we as a culture take so much of his ideas and concepts and internalize them. We get lots of weird dismissive attitudes like this, while not really arguing the thought itself.
Kettle logic was something he identified as phenomena, initially in dreams, but as we all anecdotally know, its pervasive. Our minds do not run on a principal of noncontradiction, but a logic of its own. I think that's profound and helpful to understand.
As someone who has studied and written about Freud extensively in an academic context, would just love to know where you identified inconsistencies in his thought.
