>Freud was a conman and charlatan, and the Horace Frink affair best illustrates his character On the one hand I can certainly agree that Freud's psychoanalytical theories were full of logical inconsistencies and holes and his publication of them marred the intellectual development of the 20th century in every field it touched, especially literature which I find particularly galling.

On the other hand he did a lot of important work in biology when younger https://www.embrc.eu/newsroom/news/sigmund-freud-eel-testis-neurons-and-psychoanalysis https://www.embrc.eu/newsroom/news/sigmund-freud-eel-testis-....
