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


Listen Later

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.
