I quite enjoyed listening to Desmet! He speaks eloquently on the emotional dimension of totalitarianism. I found myself a little spooked by his description of people who feel like they're working a "bullshit" job with no meaning, and the role this plays in creating "free-floating anxiety," because I certainly feel this way.

I quite enjoyed listening to Desmet! He speaks eloquently on the emotional dimension of totalitarianism. I found myself a little spooked by his description of people who feel like they're working a "bullshit" job with no meaning, and the role this plays in creating "free-floating anxiety," because I certainly feel this way. It's good to be made aware of these psychological factors BEFORE they lead to mass formation psychosis. Thank you for having this wonderful guest on Post-Woke!
Thank you, Alicen, and I feel you on your response to the concept of free-floating anxiety. You also zeroed in on why I primarily wanted to have him on the show. I felt his expertise and approach could provide some solace to so many of us who are trying to figure out what's been going on -- particularly since March 2020.
It definitely provided solace! I actually commented before I was finished listening, so now that I'm done, I also want to say that I appreciate his articulation of how reality is NOT rational!!! I say this all the time on HologramPress, and it's very encouraging to hear an academic speaking on this as well. Attempting to confine reality to strict rational/material parameters is part of the reason we're in this Transhumanistic mess to begin with. We NEED to open our hearts and get in touch with our Spirit, if we want to make a real positive change in this world!
You just zeroed in on the other reason I wanted to interview him! I found the last 10 minutes or so of what he said to be so inspirational...and rare! And for anyone following this thread, the Hologram Press Alicen refers to can be found here: https://hologrampress.com
