Ultimately, understanding the universe has little real benefit. Engineering, fame, happiness, income don't require it. Real-world success requires dealing with problems that are tied to actual rewards. If you are curious like me and want to do it: go straight for the foundations.
Not much! I think in terms of types of models, experiential access, attention, reflexive attention. It is possible to translate, but won't fully preserve Freud's distinctions.
