Desmet is the guy that came up with "mass formation psychosis" as the explanation for how people were behaving with all the COVID hysteria. When that idea hit, it was so incredibly heavily promoted over on r/conspiracy it was insane. But even as suspicious and paranoid as I have learned to be, that didn't tip me off.
From the little I heard it seemed plausible enough and I thought, "Well, I guess that guy's just really on to something." Then when I finally got around to listening to a full interview it was nothing I knew much about--crowd psychology stuff--but it seemed pretty reasonable. It took like 50 minutes to get the the key questions.
The interviewer asked, "So what causes it?" Desmet's answer was like, "There are these 4 conditions, and whenever you happen to get those you get mass formation psychosis." Then he was asked, "How do we stop it?" Desmet answered, "Oh, it just goes away by itself after a while."
Yep, that was it: things like the COVID madness just happen all by themselves and there's nothing to do about them. No one is engineering society and it can't be avoided or stopped, No wonder they promoted his ideas.
