Okay, so Desmet was morally wrong to not report his patient's crimes. And he was wrong to lie about seeing open-heart surgery with only hypnosis for anesthesia.
But I'm not willing to throw out his mass formation theory as a fraud, and here's why:

Okay, so Desmet was morally wrong to not report his patient's crimes. And he was wrong to lie about seeing open-heart surgery with only hypnosis for anesthesia.
But I'm not willing to throw out his mass formation theory as a fraud, and here's why:
Being the type who doesn't take anyone's word for anything, I double-checked the claim that his theory lets the totalitarian leaders off the hook because they too are hypnotized and 'don't know what they're doing', or that there is no deliberate conspiracy at the top, or that 'there is no one and nothing to fight'.
I went back to Desmet's early interview with Aubrey Marcus (Jan. 2022). The above interpretations are not supportable. Specifically, Desmet's idea that the rulers are hypnotized is a more nuanced one.
In fact, he offers the best explanation I've seen so far, about how the so-called controllers can make such huge blunders in public - and everyone can see it except for them.
This is from the transcript near the end of that long interview:
"The field of attention of the person who hypnotizes is usually even narrower than the masses themselves. So that’s why the experts in this situation, they make mistakes that ordinary people wouldn’t make, and that it was very clear to me from the beginning. If you look at the statistics and the numbers that are presented through the mass media, they often are so blatantly wrong that even a child can see it. And still it is as if many of the experts do not realize it. And that’s because in one way or another, they very often are hypnotized, or their field of attention is even narrower. So we could talk for days about the leaders of the masses.
It’s very complicated because in one way or another, they are hypnotized. In another way, they often manipulate and cheat and lie to the people, and that’s because they do really believe in their ideology and the ideals they are striving for. That’s something they are usually hypnotized by.
But usually they do not believe in the narrative that they are presenting to the people. They feel that it is justified to lie to the people and to manipulate them. So you have to make a distinction there. They are hypnotized in this sense that they really believe in a megalomaniac way, that their ideology will create a kind of a paradise for humanity. But that doesn’t mean that they believe everything they are telling, because usually they know that they are manipulating the population. So it’s double, I think."
Desmet also identified a segment who go along with the narrative from fear rather than sincere belief - only he puts the number at 40%, whereas Hopkins thinks it's 66%. No real rebuttal there.
And Desmet DOES say that we (the noncompliant 30%) need to fight -- first to find others like us, and then to form a community -- in his words, the goal is to "survive outside of the system in a parallel structure and just wait until the system destroys itself."
He even predicted that the implosion of this totalitarian system would happen faster than in the past.
And since one test to validate a scientific theory is its ability to predict, I am waiting to see if he is right.
