You misremember my position. I have not argued that the unconscious is right and the conscious wrong. I have argued (e.g., here) for trying to find a compromise to make peace between the conflicting parts of yourself. At the last OB/LW meetup I argued this point in person to several people, all of whom instead favored vigilant internal war.

I generally advocate internal peace Robin, but oddly we haven't discussed this. Maybe a phone call some time when we both have a minute? You should probably text first ideally.

This comment reads like an allegorical prescription for how one ought to resolve conflicts within oneself ;).

Sorry. Corrected.
