LBP Episode 14: The Psychology of Societal Control
Oct 30, 2022 Season 1 Episode 14
Dr. Thomas Giordano, Robert Melso

In this episode we’re going to discuss Mass Formation, a theory proposed by Dr. Mattias Desmet is characterized by a uniformity of thinking that can take over the boardroom, a group, a society, a nation, even the world. He defines Mass Formation as a psychosis where a group or society blindly adheres to an ideology and their attention focuses on one small point or issue to the exclusion of everything else.  We discuss real-world examples of the theory and also try to see if global climate theory conforms to the predictions of Mass Formation.  We also go into a bit of history showing what happens when a group is in Mass Formation and how to tell if you are in its grip.  The big question to ask yourself is this.  Is my perception of a topic mine or am I following a pre-described ideology?  Is my reasoning my own?
