Another interview with Prof. Mattias Desmet, on the Aubrey Marcus podcast, explains the process of mass formation (a sort of mass hypnosis), the conditions that lead to it, and why people are willing to give up their freedoms.
A profound conversation in many reguards, but I want to highlight what is said about the power of dissenting voices, and why it's important that we continue to speak the truth, and spread common sense. Speaking out might not break the masses out of the trance, but will make the trance less deep, and prevent the tranced masses from performing atrocities. Our voices have power... Specially when we speak Truth. This importance is highlighted around 40 mins, but I recommend the entire podcast.
