This video explores the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries, the notion of white superiority, American exceptionalism and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century. This video aims to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?
