MODERATORS
Probably because his ideas is what made popular psychology known to the world. His ideas have largely been debunked but there are nuggets that have been developed and become something different, rather than abandoned.
His ideas about ego, id superego etc are more commonly understood than the current psychiatric terms.
So, just like we call it pop culture, pop psychology is well known and he's the head.
I get that for the artists, but what about the philosophers? Are they not big dick academics who will lose their standing if their ideas are nonesense?
