  4. #96 | Mass Hypnosis: The Psychology of Totalitarianism + The Limitations of Rationality | Prof. Mattias Desmet
Mattias Desmet is recognized as the world’s leading expert on the
theory of mass formation as it applies to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He is a professor of clinical psychology in the Department of
Psychology and Educational Sciences at Ghent University (Belgium)
and a practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapist. His work on mass
formation theory was brought to the world’s attention on The Joe
Rogan Experience and in major alternative news outlets around the
globe.

"The world is in the grips of mass formation―a dangerous,
collective type of hypnosis―as we bear witness to loneliness,
free-floating anxiety, and fear giving way to censorship, loss of
privacy, and surrendered freedoms. It is all spurred by a
singular, focused crisis narrative that forbids dissident views
and relies on destructive groupthink." The Psychology of
Totalitarianism

In this conversation, Mattias

deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective
psychosis to take hold. 

And illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian
regimes.

-- HIGHLIGHTS --

The steps that lead toward mass formation, including:

- An overall sense of loneliness and lack of social connections
and bonds

- A lack of meaning―unsatisfying “bullsh*t jobs” that don’t offer
purpose

- Free-floating anxiety and discontent that arise from loneliness
and lack of meaning

- Manifestation of frustration and aggression from anxiety

- Emergence of a consistent narrative from government officials,
mass media, etc., that exploits and channels frustration and
anxiety

How & why Totalitarianism builds on mass formation and has
always devastating results.

Simple solutions―both individual and collective―to prevent the
willing sacrifice of our freedoms.
