Mass formation psychosis.
An historic account of how our education system was founded to discourage individual initiative and achievement, shows that the Leipzig method (free pdf of The Leipzig Connection https://thebridgelifeinthemix.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/The-Leipzig-Connection-Systematic-Destruction-of-American-Education-1993.pdf ) of classroom education is responsible for collectivist thinking. In 1806 Napoleon beat the Prussians in the Battle of Jena. From 1808 to 1818 the philosopher Johann Ficte explained how it happened, that French soldiers were expected to break with the class system of rigid military officer corps hierarchy, and effect independent decision making out in the field away from HQ — Napoleon used the expression “every corporal with a Field Marshal’s baton in his rucksack”. That is why the French beat the Prussians. Fichte demanded of the Prussian King Wilhelm a spartan-like education system in which individual development, initiative and merit were discouraged. After testing students in groups of 200, 1 was placed at the top with 6 below him. The rest were made mediocrities, the system was copied world-wide from the 1880s through psychology-dept chairman training in Leipzig, starting with Pavlov’s teacher Wilhelm Wundt, who saw humans as stimulus-response, organic machines. With the result that today people are trained to be slave-drones of gigantic enterprises and mindless consumers. Social conformity is now enforced by school students themselves through social media. A good myth to symbolize the effect is found in the 1960s sci-fi Quatermass and the Pit, or 5 Million Years to Earth, in which the ancient bug people conducted a massive, murderous purge of their dissidents. However, in the case of Covid, there is blowback, unexpected consequences, that the very people who are supposed to be purged are those who won’t take the jab, while the conformists are being killed off.
Exactly. I was wondering why the word “psychosis” was omitted since that’s the biggest part of this: too people simply cannot distinguish the real from the unreal any longer.
