You don't need to. 'Superego' is an invention. You could invent your own abstract idea and call it you. Or you could simply declare that the superego is you.

- robertlagrant 3y agoI mean in the construct of ego/id/superego, why is the "ego" me and not the "superego"?
- sdwr 3y agoSuperego is what you are supposed to do, id is what you want, and ego is where they meet in the middle. If you are identifying with the superego, maybe you are in a situation where you more "have to"s than "want to"s?
- RugnirViking 3y agonone of them alone is you. Thats kinda the point. You are all three. Maybe you were tempted to do something indulgent, but decided against it. Another brain might have made a different choice. On a different day, with a little more stress and tiredness, you yourself might have made a different choice.
