Ok, new Bombthrower piece just dropped and I'm posting it here before anywhere else.

When Future Shock Meets Mass Formation Psychosis
Discussion
A small point... “mass formation psychosis” (to use the Dr. Peter Malone term). I was sure that this was a term coined by a Belgian psychologist; but when I did a search every link seemed to be to Dr. Malone using the term on a Joe Rogan podcast. It was only after scrolling far down that I came to the name Mattias Desmet. I saw a lot of interviews with Dr. Malone during the plague; and I'm pretty sure he referred to professor Desmet when using "mass formation psychosis". Wikipedia has a Dutch language page for him: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattias_Desmet
