Isn't that the darn truth ? Just look at the very famous Sigmund Freud....the greatest confidence man of all time...never found or discovered a cure, but instead invented a disease...
Hardly qualifies as the 'greatest confidence man of all time'..... and to which disease are you referring?
Which you ask?
The same one that led him to make his living. The living that made him famous and allowed him to travel in upper levels of society. The one that allowed for his heavy use of cocaine and consider morphine as a probable cure. The same one that gave birth to a new words ; Oedipus Complex, libido, Death Drive, and the one that coddled his interpretation and critique of religion & culture.
The one mixed up with Nietzsche, Jung, feminism and other notions contained in his almost 20 books that provided income. That very disease that produced for him a whole new climate of opinion under whom we conduct our different lives.
And...the one that allows Phil McGraw, another con, to swindle in $30-40 million per year for nothing.
Freud would have been befuddled if he had studied the behavior of the Dead Rabbits gang of 5 Points only to find out it was a thing called survival. ;-}
