Mattias Desmet Explores Mass Formation and COVID-19 with Trish Wood

The reason why people buy into the narrative is not because they think the narrative is right or because they think it's correct from a scientific point of view.
Ever wondered why people seem to blindly follow authority, even when it leads to harmful outcomes? In this episode, award-winning journalist Trish Wood sits down with Professor Mattias Desmet to dissect the concept of mass formation and its relation to COVID-19 policies. Desmet provides a compelling explanation for how societies can quickly embrace totalitarian dynamics, often driven by a collective sense of fear and isolation.
He sheds light on the disturbing acceptance of cruelty and the role technology plays in deepening social divides. The conversation also touches on the differences between hypnosis and mass formation, and why many buy into prevailing narratives without questioning their scientific validity. This episode doesn't just stop at analysis; it calls for a deeper societal revolution to counter these dangerous trends. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional thinking and offers new perspectives on our current societal climate.
