Never Trust the Crowd - Gustave Le Bon

Most people do not realize how deeply crowd psychology shapes modern society. In this episode, we explore why Gustave Le Bon’s ideas about collective behavior still describe the world today, and why understanding herd mentality, mob behavior, and groupthink is essential if you want to protect your freedom and avoid being influenced by public opinion manipulation. Many individuals fall into social conformity without noticing it. They absorb mass persuasion, follow the majority, and gradually lose their sense of individuality. This conversation explains how crowd psychology operates, how herd mentality takes form, and why emotional mob behavior spreads faster than rational thought. You will discover how groupthink leads to destructive choices, how mass persuasion shapes entire populations, and how subtle manipulation influences your beliefs without your awareness. Le Bon warned that when people merge into the crowd, they lose their ability to think independently. His insight captures exactly what we see in today’s world of modern group behavior, political movements, and social influence.
