Do you disagree?
What does it mean to discern something accurately? To know whether someone is lying or being dishonest? I find that's intuition at work and not conscious thought there's a book called Blink that talks about that subject in depth
It means to tell the truth from falsehood. It could be an intentional lie or it could be ignorance or delusion. Intuition (what I'd call the heart or nous) plays a part but it's always subjective and points to the self. When we're engaging with the external world, I'd refer to rationality and logical argumentation instead because it presents a common ground, being objective and universal. My point was we judge all the time whether something is true or false and judging in that sense is absolutely necessary and everyone does it. This is basic epistemology.
It seems like Jung apprehends the word in a narrow and superficial manner and it ends up reading like something out of a boomer facebook philosophy quotes page. For all his psycho-mystical mumbo-jumbo and some interesting insights here and there, Jung wasn't much of a philosopher.
In my experience that is absolutely not the case, there's maybe a handful of actual thinkers in the world and a fuck load of parrots
I'm not a fan of Jung other than his work on synchronicity But there's some Nietzsche I can get inside
