It wasn't fair to jeer at the psychoanalytic unconscious; or perhaps it _was_ fair to jeer at the psychoanalytic unconscious, which is truly a negative quantity and an unpleasant menagerie.

What was really not fair was to jeer at Psychoanalysis as if Freud had invented and described nothing but an unconscious, in all his theory.
The unconscious is not, of course, the clue to the Freudian theory.
The real clue is sex.

A sexual motive is to be attributed to all human activity.
Now this is going too far.

We are bound to admit than an element of sex enters into all human activity.

But so does an element of greed, and of many other things.
