Nice analogy to body dysmorphia. Mixture of psychosis and cult behavior (rigid and inflexible thinking) maybe? Maybe we need to create a taxonomy of global medical totalitarianism. CJ Hopkins has the early seeds planted but I think it can be expanded on to better comprehend this moment in time. Desmet's mass formation is very accurate but also incomplete. It omits the centralized information controllers, political tribalism, cognitive dissonance, Stockholm syndrome, asch conformity experiment, stanford prison experiment etc. Engineering global totalitarianism requires a total encompassing effort. Can it be categorized?

Sounds like a worthy project, but how deep does one go in the hierarchy? I mean the visible levels seem obvious, the information manipulation, physical constraints, psychological abuse, etc. But the undercurrents, the foundations, the prime mover of this global totalitarianism, is open to much speculation - from demons to good old corporate greed. I guess sticking with what is visible, right?

Sounds like you might have a sketch in your mind already?

I thought I might this morning, but the coffee wore off. I'll have a look at what I sketched out tomorrow and see if anything's worth a damn.

Know what you mean (the coffee part). Don't spread yourself too thin - I'm guilty of this myself - too many interesting rabbit holes, not enough time or headspace, need to focus... more coffee.

Follow the money. Who is funding Jacinda Ardern for example who is handing out NZD as if it's going out of fashion....
