The Psychology of Totalitarianism with Mattias Desmet (WiM201)

Aug 12 2022 • 1hr 35m

Show Notes

Mattias Desmet, author of the book "The Psychology of Totalitarianism," joins me for a conversation on how money, incentives, and media help shape mass-formation psychosis. We also discuss how mass-formation psychosis has manifested historically, and ways we can become less susceptible to these catastrophic delusions.Be sure to check out Swan Private, the trusted Bitcoin financial services provider for high-net-worth individuals and businesses worldwide: https://www.swanprivate.com/breedloveGuestMattias' Book: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Totalitarianism-Mattias-Desmet-ebook/dp/B09WYYMR2H/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+psychology+of+totalitarianism&qid=1660245420&sprefix=the+psychology+of+total%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:Outline00:00:00 “What is Money” Intro00:00:08 Learn about Bitcoin with Swan Private at SwanPrivate.Com00:01:37 Introducing Mattias Desmet00:10:06 Explaining Prerequisites for Mass-Formation Psychosis00:19:43 Mass-Formation Psychoses Historically00:30:42 How has Mass-Formation Psychosis changed over time?00:39:18 The Relationship between Inflation, Money Printing, & Mass-Formation Psychosis00:48:06 Watch "Hard Money with Natalie Brunell" From Swan Studios00:48:51 Take Control of Your Healthcare with Crowd Health00:50:00 How Money, Incentives, and Media Shape Mass-Formation Psychosis01:01:54 Human Nature and Programmability01:21:27 How can Humans “Reprogram” themselves toward Empathic Understanding?01:32:45 Where to find out more about Mattias's Work01:35:23 “What is Money” Outro SOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?

valuable work and discovery from Mattias Desmet. The 4 conditions for Mass Formation must never be forgotten. I will make an audio clip of them.

I wonder how many people know what Mattias argues to be true, yet they remain silent out of some flavor of cowardice?
