The Crisis of Mass Formation Psychosis - Dr. Mattias Desmet, Ghent University

There are three steps to mass formation psychosis, and signs
point to the fact that we are living through the very last stage.
In this week's conversation, Ghent University's Dr. Mattias
Desmet, lays out his psychological theory of how entire societies
go insane and fall prey to totalitarianism. What are the
conditions that bind people into collectives rather than
communities? What causes a woman to hang her own child? Most
importantly, we finish on a ray of optimism - about how to
balance on the knife's edge of chaos and come out whole on the
other side.
