- Man's Ego, or sense of self, is gradually developed from youth, and all stages of physical development remain in the memory alone.
- Religion is illusory, and provides an 'oceanic' feeling of oneness that is ultimately a delusion.
- Purpose of life is empirically unanswerable, however Freud's pleasure principle dictates that the goal of mankind is to "become happy and remain so."
- Civilization is the cause of human misery. Eros and Thanatos. Society values beauty, cleanliness, and order.
- The need for human relationships arises from the need to work for property and to find and remain with one's sexual object.
Remember, the second point is actually Rollo May's and a point of view that F rejects.
