Mass Psychosis

[Martin Hash]

Now that I know what it is, I feel fortunate that I get to be a watcher.

I’ve heard on Scott Adam’s channel (which I no longer watch) that there’s a scientific study that shows news bias causes brain damage: that would explain the psychosis. If anybody runs across any links supporting that, please post them. (I couldn’t find any.)

I am over Scott Adam too. George Carlin said it best, imo.

Age of Hysteria, Carnie Age, etc.

Herd psychology is definitely a thing and its not just guys like Walter Lipman and Edward Bernays etc. were all over marketing/advertisement, but then you have things we've learned from Pavlov, Watson, Skinner and so on. Cascading effects are on display too. In other words once something happens and enough people catch on to whatever trend or fad or witch hunt or whatever then things become more and more of a regular occurring thing. For example "mass shooting" or "school shootings" or whatever.

this is what Postmodernism looks like

this is Marshall McLuhan world, the medium is the message

it is inciting a mass effect which Alvin Toffler called Future Shock

to illustrate Marshall McLuhan's thesis, let's take for example the Iraq War

in a modern paradigm it makes no sense, it is a strategic disaster

but in postmodernity, the medium is the message, the war is performative, like virtue signalling

the American hero defeats the arch villain Saddam Hussein, that's the message, the war is the medium

and it worked, because George W. Bush was reelected

or take for Example Trump & MAGA, that's the same thing,

Trump is a caricature, America chauvinism on steroids, Ronnie Raygun + Hulk Hogan = Trump

he's not really running anything, he's just a message in a medium

he even winks at you and let's you know this, through the fourth wall, like when he sends "Covfefe"

this is where Trump is the political genius, ahead of his time, the "4D chess"

this postmodern future is tearing through the modern society like a shock wave, that's the Future Shock
