Summary of "MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL"
The video explores the concept of mass psychosis, where a large portion of society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. This phenomenon has occurred throughout history, such as during witch hunts and the rise of totalitarianism. The methodology presented in the video includes the following steps: - Identify psychogenic triggers, such as floods of negative emotions like fear and anxiety. - Understand the process of a psychotic break as a re-ordering of one’s experiential world. - Recognize the use of menticide by ruling elites to manipulate collective feelings. - Spread information that counters propaganda and use humor and ridicule to delegitimize rulers. - Create parallel structures or a “second culture” that operates outside of totalitarian influence. - Take action collectively to move society back towards freedom.
