AJP 43 | Mattias Desmet – people are being hypnotised

Jan 14, 2022

In this episode Professor in Clinical Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium, Mattias Desmet, explains the phenomenon of Mass Formation. Desmet holds a Master's Degree in Statistics and after studying the public COVID-19 statistics, he realised that the mortality of the virus was highly exaggerated. Yet, when people pointed it out publicly, the narrative did not seem to become more balanced. He has studied totalitarianism and realised that the world was experiencing a Mass Formation, which is a condition where people are hypnotised and have a very narrow focus on just one problem. They go into a collective, totalitarian state of mind, and do not realise that they are losing everything. The group will also feel extreme anger towards those who do not go along with their narrative and almost religious rituals.

Dr Robert W Malone MD was also referring to Desmet in his interview at the Joe Rogan podcast (Spotify, Odysee), where he was talking about "Mass Formation Psychosis". Malone has also written about Mass Formation.

Antijantepodden

Antijantepodden er en podkast laget av Frode Burdal Klevstul, forfatter av boken «Bill Goats and the Forest», og Miriam Ekelund. Miriam er forfatter av boken «Du skal lide for fellesskapet», og podkasten ble startet for å fortsette å sette søkelys på temaene som tas opp i boken.

En stor, internasjonal forskning fra 2011 viser at Norge er verdens 6. mest konforme land. Det betyr altså at nordmenn er veldig like og at «normalområdet» er smalt. Selv om vi har formell ytringsfrihet, viser rapporten «Status for ytringsfriheten i Norge» fra 2014 at 9 av 10 nordmenn ikke tør å fortelle hva de mener i sosiale medier eller på åpen nettside. Vi har med andre ord en jantelovs-kultur der gruppen har rett, og du som individ skal tie dersom du ikke er enig i det som er opplest og vedtatt. I denne podkasten snakker Miriam Ekelund med personer som av forskjellige grunner faller utenfor det trange normalområdet i Norge, og som har måttet tåle både hets og mobbing fordi de er annerledes.
