We are familiar with the social “id” through mob dynamics, crowd control. But is there anything akin to the ego and superego for society or groups? Maybe the media act as a bit of a superego on societies…but maybe the concept just does not extend that easily.

    Eh, the Bohr model actually gets some things roughly right (line spectra in Hydrogen-like atoms), but that is only because it was good enough to happen to fit those specific data :) but ok, maybe instead of Freudian terms, I should use a more modern system like Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems and try to extrapolate that: e.g. subpersonalities would become subcultures
