I'll add that to my list of books to read. Right now i am again going trough the bio released in the name of known deranged leaders, both political leaders, but also corp leaders, not as a follower of course, just to find the similarities that arent the common ones.
One interesting person to study is Nero. If you like that kind of history, find different writtings from different years/periods(as close to his existance up untill today) and cross reference it in any way you can. It does get weird, but it does also show that people in groups seemingly starts sharing a mind if pushed by a greater entity. Just a tip.
I don't even think people need to be pushed, rather it's natural that the minds of people who spend a lot of time together start to align. In what way they align is where leadership and peer pressureand propaganda plays a role... But I'd love to check it out. Do you have any specific material to start me off?
Btw, I really appreciate that your writing is more calm and focused on connecting and helping me understand you, rather than coming off as antagonistic, these past few messages. Thank you.
