Скачать или смотреть Felix Mindhunter: Mass Madness From Freud to the Algorithm

In this witty yet sobering 5-minute talk, “Mass Madness: From Freud to the Algorithm,” Felix Mindhunter explores how 21st-century hate movements aren’t spontaneous chaos but engineered emotion.
From Sear & Johnson’s (2023) data on digital radicalization to Freud’s (1930) death drive, from Fromm’s (1941) “escape from freedom” to Jung’s (1951) archetypal Shadow, this lecture connects classic psychoanalytic insight with today’s algorithmic echo chambers.

You’ll laugh, then shiver, realizing mass madness doesn’t storm the gates anymore—it logs in.
