Key Notes
diagnosis

definition
Archetypes are shared personality patterns or imprints in the universe, associated by Jiang with Carl Jung, that make similar kinds of people behave alike.
diagnosis
He says the worldview-as-memory-filter model fails on babies because babies appear to have distinct personalities before they should have a developed worldview.
model
Jiang argues that writing manifests thought and thought comes from personality, so works of genius are original and uniquely tied to the author.
