I am glad you made your comment, Dave. Thank you. Mass Formation Psychosis theory coined by Matthias Desmet--whether it is the absolute truth or not, or whether Matthias Desmet deserves to become another hero--seems to be distracting us away from the fact that, it does exist. You can go back to a number of examples; one is Edward Bernays…
I am glad you made your comment, Dave. Thank you. Mass Formation Psychosis theory coined by Matthias Desmet--whether it is the absolute truth or not, or whether Matthias Desmet deserves to become another hero--seems to be distracting us away from the fact that, it does exist. You can go back to a number of examples; one is Edward Bernays and his "public relations' propaganda to manipulate the American people to enter WWI. There is an excellent four-part 2002 documentary called "The Century of Self". I watched it when it came out, and as an anthropologist, psychologist and other things, that docuseries really opened my eyes to the mass formation paradigm.
Right now, bringing attention to the catastrophic events in WW II is necessary. It seems that the work of Matthias Desmet and his theory of MFP has been doing that. It boldly draws attention to you/me/us. That is important! Because if we can't look clearly, and unattached at ourselves, and the strong possibility that, we have unconsciously allowed ourselves for a very long time to be dupped by the many cushy attractions of the technologically, manipulated, politically masterminded system, then there is no hope for us. Also, a good many people need heroes, saviors and intelligent messengers to give them guidance, hope and answers. Matthias Desmet has done that, but what he is offering is disturbing, confronting and it takes responsibility; it takes wisdom, and an intuition. Matthias Desmet has exposed himself in every manner by writing his book, giving numerous interviews. He may be a hero, but he is also vulnerable to scrutiny by everyone, many who want his theory to be debunked, and just might be jealous that he is seen as one of those heroes. To me, his message is brilliant, as I have noticed much of what he has researched myself for a long time. And as you say, most people want to think everything is fine, to get on with their normal life. Most people are conditioned to get along, to not rock the boat of social reality--the world has been good to them; most people have pride in how they were groomed, pride in being successful, pride in their country and can't see beyond the reality of that pride. But right now, courage, humility, letting go and insight is desperately needed to step outside of one's reality to see the extreme dependence on the system, which has been increasing for a long time. The mass formation psychosis as it was before-2020, was well hidden, subtle, not so noticeable. But right now, it is definitely evident and if we can pass through the contentious gossip and individual voices who get stuck in the rhetoric, we can understand how it works, learn about the human mind and stand up for ourselves.
