Summary

What are the conditions in any society that will cause a people to willingly sacrifice their freedoms? Mattias Desmet has studied and lectured extensively on this phenomenon. He is a professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University has and holds a masters degree in statistics. After noticing some anomalies in the statistical analyses conducted during the pandemic, he became concerned by the consensus narrative. He joined me today to discuss his expertise in a phenomenon called ‘mass formation’, a type of collective hypnosis essential for the rise of totalitarian regimes. He provides the step by step formula for this collective psychosis to take hold and how this relates to our current situation. He cautions against the dangers of our current societal landscape and offers solutions both individually and collectively to prevent the willing sacrifice of our freedoms.

Matthias Desmond is a professor of psychology at Gantt University. He also has his master's degree in statistics.

0:08.0

And he has an interesting and important and powerful take on what's going on in the world right now.

0:14.0

And no matter what your beliefs are, I think it's very important to understand the psychological processes that may be affecting a lot of the decisions and emotions we're experiencing as a society right now.

0:27.0

But first up a word from our sponsors. And first up, I get to talk about a company that I'm a part owner of that I'm extraordinarily passionate about.

0:36.0

The company is called World View. And what World View is doing is offering people an opportunity to have a different perspective of our planet.

0:46.0

They've developed a technology where they're bringing helium balloons and these luxury capsules attached to these helium balloons up to the stratosphere.

0:56.0

Now the stratosphere isn't quite weightless outer space, but it's at a height that you're able to see the curvature of the earth against the backdrop of space and the stars and gaze down and see a world without borders, see a world without division.

1:14.0

And this is the type of world the more beautiful world we're trying to create.

1:18.0

And I really believe that people who are able to have this experience where you're in this capsule with seven other people, a pilot, a copilot, you're able to spend the time gazing down at the earth looking up at the stars to really give ourselves perspective of what we're fighting for.

1:37.0

We're fighting for our home, for our place in this brilliant blue gem called earth. And we're going to get to see it from a different perspective, not only the people who are in the capsules, but the people who are taking pictures and videos and actually you're going to be able to live stream from the capsules themselves.

1:55.0

So the content is going to spread around and that perspective is going to ripple out from the people able to have this unbelievable experience. There's been over a hundred test flights already done. It's absolutely safe, multiple redundant.

2:08.0

If you're interested in learning about more of it, check out my podcast with Alan Stern, who's the chief exploration officer for World View. I'm going to go up there. I'm probably going to podcast up there.

2:19.0

It's going to be incredible to have this experience and I feel really fortunate to be involved with something that's able to shift perspective in a really important way.

2:29.0

And also, you know, sorry about it, Flatter, there's going to be really tough to kind of keep that up when you're up in the stratosphere and everybody's live streaming the curvature of the earth against the blackness of space. But it's all good. We love you too.

2:41.0

This is an amazing, amazing project. So I encourage you guys to check it out. Go to the whole world view.com if you're interested and you have the resources you can put down in deposit to get your seat.

2:55.0

So once again, check it out. Go to the whole world view.com.

3:01.0

And lastly, we have on it. Now, I have all of the on it supplements in the world and even some other supplements. My supplement cabinet is stocked. And oftentimes I'll still pick and choose which pills I want.

3:14.0

But recently, I've been really busy doing a lot of podcasts, doing a lot of writing, doing a lot of things. So I've just switched entirely to the total human packs.

3:22.0

Because what the total human packs are is that is a one stop day pack and night pack that has all the goodies that you need in it. And you don't even have to think about it.

3:31.0

So I just wake up in the morning, still a little groggy. I have a little bit of sea salt in my water and I rip open the day pack, done. And at night when it's time to go to bed, rip open the night pack, swallow it down, done.

3:44.0

It's so easy to do and I feel so good. And honestly, when I was doing my own thing, sometimes just out of sheer convenience, I wouldn't take any supplements and then I wouldn't be as optimized as I am right now just taking the total human.

3:57.0

Because the total human is designed to have absolutely everything that anyone needs. And if you're listening to this add close to the release date, there is no better time to try total human because there's a free trial available.
