I shouldn't have used the word modern here, but I'm inclined to accept that there are some universal principles that rationally make sense, like not enslaving other people against their will or abolishing hierarchies.

This makes even more sense, if you assume that sympathy is a basic human function. To break it down to a personal level, it makes even less sense to keep slaves, for example, if you are able to feel with them.

But of course, everyone who acts in history has their reasons to rationally explain and justify their current set of morals, I'm not disputing that.

Freud and anything that came out of it was and is still a talk-therapy for rich people.

If you were working class you had the option of self medication with drugs or being put into an insane asylum, if you broke down.

So yes, Freud is still relevant, if you can afford it basically.
