MATTIAS DESMET | MASS FORMATION AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TOTALITARIANISM

06/24/22 • 65 min

Meet Mattias Desmet. A professor of clinical psychology and statistics at Ghent University and a practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Mattias is the world’s leading expert on the theory of mass formation as it applies to COVID-19. He has been featured on The Joe Rogan Experience, in Forbes, The New York Post, Salon.com, and Fox News.
Mattias is well known for showing how our reaction to COVID-19 revealed that the human inability to handle ambiguity and free-floating anxiety can lead to a Totalitarian government system.
In this Podcast, we discus Mattias's theory and new book, 'The Psychology of Totalitarianism', at length. No matter your political ideology, I promise, you will find Mattias to be incredibly thought provoking.
