Professor Mattias Desmet Psychoanalytischer Psychotherapeut, Univ. Ghent (Belgium)'''
Studies mass psychology, also a statistician.
Talks about the specific conditions that allow totalitarian thinking to emerge within a society.
Why have people gone along with the govt directives, even when it was obvious that they were absurd?
4 things need to be in place for a mass psychology/totalitarian thinking to emerge: 1. large gp without social bonds 2. lack of feeling that "life makes sense"
