Deep dives
Mass formation is a process in which individuals become blindly committed to a collective belief system
Mass formation occurs when individuals in a society feel disconnected and lonely, leading to a lack of meaning in their lives. In this state, people experience free-floating anxiety, frustration, and aggression without a clear understanding of why. This makes them susceptible to the influence of a narrative that presents an object of anxiety and a strategy to deal with it. The masses become willing to participate in this strategy, even if it is irrational or destructive. As a result, the individual's connection shifts from other individuals to the collective, creating a blind loyalty and a sense of fighting a heroic battle.
