Panel Discussion with Mattias Desmet on the Psychology of Tyranny
My recent conversation at the Brownstone Institute Annual Conference, moderated by Jeffrey Tucker.
Click here for the video. My brilliant co-panelist, Mattias Desmet, popularized the concept of mass formation to explain what happened during the pandemic, when we uncritically embraced a slew of massively harmful policies without asking critical questions. It’s worth watching at least to hear Mattias’ insights.
This was a powerful discussion and explanation on the state of our country and the world during the insane last years. It was appreciated that input on the future and going forward was addressed. Thank you to all! Please listen to all discussions at Jeffrey Tucker’s Brownstone Institute Conference.
A very interesting conversation. It was encouraging to hear that the way out of mass formation psychosis is speaking the truth. I am noticing that more people are speaking the truth out loud. A good example is many admitting to me they were voting for Trump, even though they did not know my politics. I have read both The New Abnormal and The Psychology of Totalitarianism, and they both helped me confirm my opinions. In other words, gave me background so I understood better why others didn’t see what I felt was the truth. Thank you.
