Crowd psychology meets behavioral economics, and the result isn’t Jekyll becoming Hyde—it’s Hyde on a megaphone.
Le Bon argued that rational individuals lose their reason in a crowd. But modern behavioral science shows the “rational individual” never existed in the first place.

(Sequel neuroscientifico di Bias cognitivi e politica) Esistono parole, immagini, e rituali politici capaci di modificare la percezione, le emozioni e perfino le decisioni. Non in senso poetico. Ma neurologico. Tutto questo ha un nome: neuropropaganda. Non è una teoria. È una strategia. Non solo influenza la politica: rimodella la realtà percepita. 1. Framing tossico:
"Fascism is not just the political project of an elite but the mobilization of repressed contradictions within the average person"
In my Medium piece I revisit Wilhelm Reich's analysis of Fascism to understand today's resurgence of authoritarianism in the West.

“Charles Mackay's book … enjoys extraordinarily high renown in the financial industry and among the press and the public. It also has an extraordinarily low reputation among historians. […] Mackay’s story provides another example of a renowned expert on bubbles who decides that ‘this time is different.’”

“its power as a starter in crowd psychology comes from Mackay’s insistence on humanising the follies he describes. No macroeconomic constructs here – just good old greed, optimism, superstition & cunning plans”
—Charles Mackay (1814–1889) was born #OTD, 27 March – best remembered today for his 1841 book Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds
