We're struggling to understand why so many people are fixated on Covid, ignoring all the other problems facing us. Why are people so determined that all must take the experimental vaccines regardless of their personal circumstances? What has happened to our humanity?
Perhaps the answer is the phenomenon called mass formation, a form of hypnosis, where 20-30% of the population in the western world have become entranced by the dominant narrative of the threat of the virus and the safety and effectiveness of the experimental vaccines.
A very good summary of this phenomenon can be found on Dr Robert Malone's substack (https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis), including a 15 minute video that is easy listening.
Key points are:
1. The conditions to set up mass formation psychosis include lack of social connectedness and sensemaking as well as large amounts of latent anxiety and passive aggression. When people are inundated with a narrative that presents a plausible "object of anxiety" and strategy for coping with it, then many individuals group together to battle the object with a collective singlemindedness. This allows people to stop focusing on their own problems, avoiding personal mental anguish. Instead, they focus their thought and energy on this new object.
2. As mass formation progresses, the group becomes increasingly bonded and connected. Their field of attention is narrowed and they become unable to consider alternative points of view.
3. Left unabated, a society under the spell of mass formation will support totalitarian governance capable of otherwise unthinkable atrocities in order to maintain compliance. Even when the narrative falls apart and cracks in the strategy clearly aren’t solving the issue, the hypnotized crowd can’t break free. Those in control of the narrative produce bigger and bigger lies to prop up the solution. Those being controlled by mass formation are no longer able to use reason to break free of the group narrative.
The good news is that we can get out of this, but it will take time.
