Everyone is a few missed paychecks away from catastrophe. Just like before money, everyone was a bad harvest away from catastrophe. At least now the government will give you money so you don't have to worry about starving unlike then and if you lose your job you can get unemployment. Easiest and most comfortable time to be alive in history and people acting like it's the 1500s and a swarm of locusts has arrived.

So you believe Jung is incorrect? That it isn't caused by avoiding a problem and using, what you call shaming words, to avoid the problem? Fear shouldn't be a trait that's elevated in society. The person is the one using those as an excuse to avoid the problem they don't want to face. It's not someone shaming them. It's not something anyone outside of the individual can fix. If you're stuck in limbo because you refuse to face your problem, being forgiving of your actions won't help at all and will just continue the cycle. Einstein was a physicist, not a psychologist. So his advice on how to solve a scientific problem, isn't applicable to a mental problem. Edit: I don't believe you understand that those words aren't to shame, but are traits caused by attempting to avoid the problem. It's for the psychologist to recognize those traits in a patient, help the patient see those aren't positive traits and figure out the problem they are avoiding or avoided at some point in their lives that's causing them. While nonconformity is fine, you still have to be able to function within society.

@Rithmy Jung is highlighted in this video as saying that fear and laziness should not be elevated. That's what the comment is referring to. Society has elevated bad traits. When society elevates things, people that have those are higher in the social hierarchy. That leads to others mimicking them in order to move up the hierarchy. Those traits are bad for an individual and bad for a society. Being higher in the hierarchy comes with certain privileges, that's the benefits the commentor is pointing to. Humans absolutely do react to positive reinforcement. That's why that combined with punishment has the best outcomes in child rearing. It's why raises are given for hard work and awards are given for achievements.
