Mass psychosis - How an entire population becomes mentally ill

[Rhymes with Paris]

Well, Charles MacKaye in 1841 wrote a book titled "Extraordinary delusions and the madness of crowds"

It is very insightful into the human condition, and IMO still relevant to society today, I recommend it.

I think it is required reading for learner accountants.

I thought at first when I saw this post,it was one of those spam a forum with get rich quick schemes,or follow this guru (and give them all your money), I have now watched the video and it is clearly nihilistic in nature.

I really don't think that the entire population of western civilization is so stupid as to succumb to the extreme message of hopelessness promoted by this video, although some undoubtedly are.(ie the walk off's)

So, my question is why ?
