How Personal Psychosis is Breaking through the Managed Reality for the Masses
The media's role in the pandemic of fear & how to break free from the grip of lies
One way to make sense of today’s world is to approach it on a psycho-socio level.
The few real social scientists and anthropologists left must be chewing their fingers off because of the unprecedented material today’s world offers. Books and books will be written about the collective dead-end street part of humanity has taken at the moment. That is, when we survive.
With some critical thinking, clear patterns can be discerned.
Here are a few;
What politicians or other leaders blame their opponents/enemies for is what they exactly do themselves. Most of it is simple projection. Follow this rule, and the curtain of deceit and lies will fall from your eyes.
Doublethink is real in 2023. When you’ve read 1984, you know that when ‘ the party’ is in charge of (the perception of) your reality, it can change enemies, crises and thus your reality with the snap of the information finger. Part of doublethink is to make you convinced of the righteousness of two opposite things or realities. One day, mouthcaps work, and the next, they don’t. The ultimate goal of doublethink is mind control.
At the bottom is nihilism—the absence of ethics, moral compass, or anything of value. The result is groupthink, mass formation (DeSmet) and the an-nihil-ation of individual expression and freedom. Underlying is just one lower-frequency driver: fear.
We’re back at the psychological level. The result of above patterns is a strengthening collective psychosis and individual cases breaking through the clever reality — management by Mainstream Media (MSM) incubating narratives.
In this piece, I dive into three psychological root causes of today’s insanity, how it’s leading to an alarming increase of personal psychosis, the role of the MSM and how to stay sane.
Since for the sane people left at the sideline, the world and what its leaders are parroting have become insane. In this climate, making sense of the world and being on a personal quest for truthfinding is crucial, hence this platform.
The first root cause — the avoidance of feeling pain
The current climate of ideological battles over empty ideas leaves our souls empty in division. It creates armies of dehumanized individuals that have been cancelled with the click of a finger on an app.
Looking at one of the root causes of the current nihilism and truth avoidance on a psychological level, I argue that people are disconnected from their pain.
Feeling your emotions and going through your pain makes things real again. Even a fight with your partner, although you might want to avoid going there, clears the skies, makes things raw and real, and opens up for other emotions. Like Love.
I see three distinct root causes for our personal and mass pain avoidance.
We live in a world and culture mainly driven by economic incentives, and the consumer slumber millions are in causes them to numb out for the alienation, separation and other consequences of living a life of competition with everybody else for never enough money. This causes pain that needs to be numbed out with more consumption and, voila, a vicious circle of pain avoidance within a prison of greed and money.
In this system, the products we buy have moved away from ‘real’ craftsmen's products that you can repair to empty stuff designed to keep us hooked. Buying empty shit solidates the psychological inner void. Think of screens, medicines, sugar-based fast foods, porn, etc. Addiction is one of the main invisible problems in today’s societies.
The introduction of hyperobjects. In our quest for left-brain-only abstraction multiplied by increasing exponential tech, hyperobjects have marched into our lives. These are objects far from the objective reality we can discern with our senses. Think of Climate Change, Covid, or Gender. Why would we bother? Well, look around. Most discussions are religiously fought over these hyperobjects, without nuance or staying open to other opinions. This climate of ideological battles over empty (hyper) ideas leaves our souls empty in division. It creates armies of dehumanized groups.
In general, what makes us real is pain and emotion, vulnerability and an honest inquiry into our differences. It makes us want to connect to others since we want to support each other, not fight. We love to grow together despite our differences.
This element has been constantly attacked for the last decades by a system driven by anti-human corporations that started a war on information, sensemaking and truth. That started a war on us.
Simply to sell more shit. And yeah, sure, there is an element of power hunger too.
The second root cause — further denial of truth
Psychosis is a reaction to the stress and anxiety caused by the alienation of the soul in the world in which we live.
When you deny the truth long enough, your world becomes based on lies. When this mechanism plays out in the collective, everything becomes a culture of lies, corruption and deceit. The seed for totalitarianism.
That’s where we are now.
To understand how this enhances psychosis on a personal level, we need to look into what generally causes psychosis. Old School Medicine would throw in terms like Schizophrenia, bipolarity and severe depression. Things we can fight with medication. Then you’ll read that psychosis also can be caused by, here we go, medication. Here, we’ve explained the profit model of big pharma.
What could be the root cause of all these psychological illnesses?
Everything described above.
I would say that psychosis is a reaction to the stress and anxiety caused by the alienation of the soul in the world in which we live. One way to channel this stress on a societal level is to present the psychotic masses an ever-changing enemy. Covid, Russians, Aliens.. etc.
All the non-expressed anger and perverted emotions can now be channelled and offloaded in a group ritual of ‘outrage’. The Ten Minutes of hate described in 1984. Or as Desmet writes (and this is my interpretation), The free-floating anxiety can be directed to a common enemy. As a result, the power of the ingroup gives meaning and direction to life again.
This channelled outrage isn’t enough for some individuals. They fall from the bandwagon of totalitarianism. Looking at the MSM in Holland for one week is enough to understand what I mean.
When real human suffering and psychosis leak into a (sick) society
Is Dutch society, once characterized by solid social cohesion, suffering from a pandemic of personal psychosis leaking through the cleverly media-controlled reality?
It has been a rough week in Holland. It started with a man in Rotterdam who shot a mother and her 14-year-old daughter and after taking their lives, went to a University hospital and killed a teacher before setting fire to parts of the building. The investigation is still ongoing, but it seems the man was denied his doctor's licence since he had abused animals and, according to the Police, behaved strangely.
The Dutch Mainstream media came out with an explainer, telling the readers the man suffered from psychosis. Of course, no further context was presented.
These kinds of actions would be unthinkable in Holland a decade ago. The social fabric and cohesion was much more intact, and obviously, the world wasn’t as fucked up as it is today. The only shootings that happened a few times a year were drug criminals settling conflicts in Amsterdam. The media romanticized these.
How times have changed.
After the Rotterdam incident, Dutch MSM reported a shooting every day of the week. Often in small provincial towns, like the one four days ago in Almelo. Or the last one yesterday in Assen. Again, this is unheard of for Holland. A decade ago, in Almelo and Assen nothing would happen in a hundred years.
Is Dutch society, once characterized by solid social cohesion, suffering from a pandemic of personal psychosis leaking through the cleverly media-controlled reality?
Shooting people in clear daylight is… very real. You can’t lie about that.
Let’s have a closer look at the role of said Mass Media. It’s true face has surfaced dramatically during Covid. Is MSM the leading accelerator of individual and collective psychosis?
The role of MSM in maintaining the collective psychosis
This is one of the most painful sectors of modern society where humanity’s moral decay, ethical absence and perverse economic incentives are so painfully visible.
MSM aborted their mission of truth-finding through honest journalism, and instead has become the main instrument to keep people in a constant state of fear, shock and crisis.
Just for clicks.
The underlying driver is, again, a nihilistic economic incentive to get people hooked by selling them not truth but trauma, shocking footage, and using emotionally appealing NLP-manipulated language, increasingly designed by A.I tools.
Just to increase eyes on sight. To get you hooked.
This is one of the most painful sectors of modern society where humanity's moral decay, ethical absence and perverse economic incentives are so painfully visible.
They misuse the trust given by the people who still believe mainstream media has a public role for truth-finding instead of what they do — spreading toxic infotainment and provoking modern digital witch hunts in their relentless effort to cancel and character assassin people who question the current narratives. Who question the almost evil and benevolent role of MSM.
The financiers of these narratives pay them to enforce them and shut down dissent. So much must be clear to you right now.
It is reaching sociopathic levels.
Imagine the level of hypocrisy when you deliberately spread fear and feed collective psychosis for years, and when some individual snaps and kills a bunch of people, you feel the need to explain what Psychosis means, mumbling something that he must have forgotten his pills, shaming the institutions that should have taken the individual from the street. Etc.
People create their reality in a world built on lies, sometimes by force.
This should be a huge wake-up call. Panels, think tanks and governments should discuss the further decay of social fabric, values and cohesion, before civil wars will roam the streets of what once was called Western Civilization. Priority right now is how to stop the follie and what we can do to turn it around. Sadly, there’s no money in peace. There is in accelerating cascading crisis, violence, war and personal drama. In fact, politicians and MSM are busy heating more hate and anger towards created villains like Putin, openly flirting with WOIII, basically willingly feeding the biggest global collective psychosis in history.
That might end with a big bang.
Disclaimer; I know I can’t prove one-on-one the relation between the sad events in Holland this week (that cost real lives) and the role of MSM. I just get sick of the hypocrisy, of not being able to look in the mirror and acknowledge their mass deceit, lies and perverse incentives to serve their corrupt masters. They’ve turned into soul-less agents of social destruction. A global propaganda machine, backed by Governments and even judiciary institutions.
Happily more and more are waking up to the scam.
How to turn around the biggest global psychosis in history
The church of global capitalism has left us empty, divided and on the brim of personal and collective collapse
Looking at the three root causes discussed earlier, the most important thing we need to do is get real.
Get real with ourselves first.
We must realise that a constant war on truth, sensemaking and information is raging. Everything is constantly being weaponized to make more bucks. Nihilism would even cheer a nuclear blast, and the shockwave would not even wake the mob out of their collective numbness.
We need to leave the ideology of money that has turned anti-human.
The church of global capitalism has left us empty, divided and on the brim of personal and collective collapse. The underlying economic systems in the world are bankrupt. The tiny bit of moral awareness left in our leaders got bought out during Covid. You’re either with the cult, or you’re out and cancelled.
We need to stop giving any attention to criminal toxic players like MSM. At some moment, they will be dismantled as the truth of what they are. With their Ukraine support hype and villainising Putin, they are pushing humanity from the cliff straight towards nuclear extinction. Steered ( and financed) by the blind military-industrial complex wanting more blood money.
Change starts with the question of what is sacred for you and to start living a meaningful life for yourself and your peers, in tune with the surrounding nature from those values and ethical perspectives.
Stay inspired. And especially stay connected to your values, ethics and moral voice that informs you about your truths. The best way to defeat anti-human attacks is to embrace our humanity.
Please don’t fall for the zombie trap our current information system offers since it’s already death itself. It just doesn’t know it yet.

Thaks for sharing. I think we live in all or nothing times, and society is pushing the limits of human psychological resilience. If nothing changes, in the future, there will be more psychotic people, because with the loss of love, social connection, intimate relationships, the fear, anger and loneliness will rise psychotic pathologies
