Wonderful TV interview with Jung. One bit to point out: both in regards to advice to older people and the interviewer’s question about the collectivization of humanity, Jung says that life always behaves as if it will go on indefinitely and will resist any effort to nullify it.

When I think of my patients, they all seek their own existence and to assure their own existence against that complete atomization into nothingness and meaninglessness. Man cannot stand a meaningless life.

And then, as if to prevent me from getting too carried away in my praise of Memories, Dreams, Reflections, comes the travel chapter. I think Jung was really trying to learn from non-Europeans but there’s way too much talk about savages to make for comfortable reading.
