Mattias Desmet and Mike Yeadon are two great men who think very deeply about things, and I have the much respect for their passion and insights into human behaviour and mental health.
And their desire to understand why people behave in a certain way.
The most dangerous madness of all is the madness of the group.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mattias Desmet
Mattias is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium, focusing on mass crowd formation, totalitarianism, mass hypnosis, indoctrination and, basically, how the human mind works.
Mass formation is a phenomenon that occurs when a large group of people develop irrational beliefs or engage in collective behaviour that defies logic or reason.
Mass hysteria is a condition in which a large group of people exhibit the same state of violent mental agitation.

It’s like a contagious mindset that spreads within a community, leading individuals to adopt the same thoughts, behaviours, or beliefs.
It’s as if masses of people are hypnotised.
And it really does look that way.
Mike Yeadon
Meanwhile, Mike is a retired British pharmacologist who served as the chief scientist and vice-president of the Allergy & Respiratory Research Division of Pfizer, and is the co-founder and former CEO of the biotechnology company Ziarco.
He left Pfizer in 2011 and has spoken out against the entire Covid narrative.
Let’s be clear
- There was no pandemic.
- There was a mass fear campaign which led to increased compliance and surveillance.
- There was a mass rollout of harmful ‘vaccines‘.
Included in all of that was a type of collective craziness. A type of crowd madness. Millions of people acting like mindless zombies.
Or, as Mattias describes it, mass formation.
It’s a psychological state in which a large group of people all start believing in the same idea. This happens when four things come together:
- people feel alone and not connected,
- everybody is anxious and worried,
- there’s a belief that makes them feel better,
- there’s a strong leader who supports the said belief.
Which means that the sheep people in this state are likely to accept – or believe something – without thinking critically.
The madness of crowds is an integral part of history, always repeating itself because human nature remains the same.

As silver linings go, there has also been a mass awakening.
Here is my conversation with both Mattias and Mike.
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule.
Friedrich Nietzsche
