      @woona The Id is the bit of the brain that is neither the Ego nor Superego.

        @thelastgherkin Well, brain. More like psyche.

      @woona Yes. The Id is one of the three parts of the psyche defined by Freud. According to this model of the psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.
