À propos de cet audio

We bear witness to loneliness, free-floating anxiety, and fear giving way to censorship, loss of privacy, and surrendered freedoms. It is all spurred by a singular, focused crisis narrative that forbids dissident views and relies on destructive groupthink.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history, its formation gaining strength and speed with each generation—from the Jacobins to the Nazis and Stalinists—as technology advances. Governments, mass media, and other mechanized forces use fear, loneliness, and isolation to demoralize populations and exert control, persuading large groups of people to act against their own interests, always with destructive results.

In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

The person that wrote the review about this book being “more conspiracy than fact” is clearly written by someone who didn’t read the book. There’s literally an entire chapter about the psychology of conspiracy and how conspiracy theorists fall into the trap of thinking that way. This is a really important book about the “hows“ and “whys” of the current state of the world and how, in a sense, it’s just history repeating itself due to basic human psychology. It’s important to snap people out of delusion and give solace to those trying to do the right thing.

The Review About It Being “Conspiracy” is Stupid

Desmet moves eloquently between psychology, philosophy, history, statistics and more. He details how post-enlightenment man’s tendency towards totalitarianism is not a random anomaly, but a consequence of his abandonment of meaning and hubristic fixation of his own, seemingly limitless ability to interpret the world through reason alone. Understood this way, totalitarianism is the “groove” upon which the “needle” of modern man cannot help but continually fall into. This book is a “must read” and could not be more prescient to the current time.

Amazing and illuminating!
