Carl Jung
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Carl Jung was a psychiatrist. In 1950, Emily Blandish quoted him as saying: "Don't you know if you get one hundred of the most intelligent people in the world together, they're a stupid mob? Ten thousand would have the collective intelligence of an alligator." (PROSE: The Tunnel at the End of the Light [+]Loading...["The Tunnel at the End of the Light (novel)"])
The Third Doctor had an acquaintance named Carl who was a "clever fellow", and coined the term for synchronicity. They had an in-depth discussion about it, a few years before he met Sarah Jane Smith. (PROSE: The Ghosts of N-Space [+]Loading...["The Ghosts of N-Space (novelisation)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Carl Jung indeed discussed synchronicity in Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle (1960).
