    WHY DO SO MANY STILL BUY INTO THE NARRATIVE?

    Does it sometimes feel like you’re surrounded by people who’ve been hypnotised in some way? Well, maybe you are.
    My guest tonight is Mattias Desmet, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium, and his observations over the past 18 months have led him to conclude that the overwhelming majority have indeed fallen under a kind of spell.
    Except it’s not actually a spell, of course: the term for it is ‘Mass Formation’ and right now it’s manifesting as a psychological response — not unlike hypnosis — to the unrelenting, single-focus campaign of fear to which we have all been subjected.


    fascinating conversation!

    "The Society of Man" is based on fear. It controls everything we do. Those that control that narrative, control the people.

    That's because many were hypnotized. Hypnotized by LIES over and over and over and over until everyone believed it as gospel.

    At one level, I agree.

    Fear is a basic, human (animal) instinct. Those that do not have it are deer in the headlights to threat.

    Manufactured fear by manipulators is preying on that instinct. At the same time, pretty-much the same manipulators work as diligently at suppressing natural instinct as it suits the narrative. Been going on since way before any of us. Fear being manufactured does not mean threat does not exist. Seems to me if you don't fear the manufactured threat, a real threat exists from the manufacturer.
