In this video we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.
This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

Alarming stuff:-
America is a quintessential example of a society gone mad, deeply afflicted by the kind of mass psychosis as eloquently described in the above video.
When a society, detached from reality, descends into a state of mass mental illness, it becomes a fertile ground for the rise and prosperity of demagoguery, lies and misinformation and for wannabe tyrants such as Donald Trump to seize control and to normalize this sort of mass, national illness and general menticide (death of the mind).
The forthcoming 2024 presidential election will let us know whether the unsound demagogue (and pathological liar) will get second chance to run America deeper into the abyss of mass mental illness.
