From Powerlessness to Collective Madness The world has gone crazy, but there is a pattern behind it. More people seem to be losing their grip on reality, swept up in ideological movements that demand conformity and punish dissent. This progression begins with powerlessness, continues with possession, and ends in resentment disguised as justice. The first stage is the breakdown of what can be called the power process. Human beings need to set goals, work toward them, and achieve them in order to feel whole. Once, daily life revolved around hunting, farming, building, and creating. Today, survival and progress are often managed by vast systems and institutions. As a result, many people feel alienated and powerless. They turn to movements for a sense of purpose, drawing progress not from their personal lives, but from the causes they embrace. Carl Jung described what happens next. Inside a movement, individuals can become possessed by collective identities. Those who refuse the difficult task of becoming themselves may dissolve into the group mind. This is why ideologies such as communism, nationalism, feminism, socialism, and environmentalism can exert such power: they offer ready-made identities and moral clarity. Individuals gradually stop thinking for themselves and become mouthpieces for the collective identity that has seized them. Nietzsche revealed the final stage: resentment. In *Thus Spoke Zarathustra*, he described the “tarantulas”—moral preachers who spin ideological webs in the name of justice. They claim to champion the weak, but their motivation may be envy and revenge, cloaked in noble language. Their goal is not always to uplift, but to tear down the strong. When the world seems to have gone mad, the pattern is clear: people lose the power process in their own lives, surrender themselves to ideologies, and then act out their resentment as justice. The cure is not another movement, but the difficult task of reclaiming individuality in an age of collective madness.

Five Warnings Carl Jung Left Us Totalitarianism grows where people stop knowing themselves. In The Undiscovered Self (1957), Jung warned that individuality must be lost before oppression can take hold. Here are five of his clearest warnings. 1) Reason fails when fear takes over. Rational debate works only until emotional intensity passes a threshold—then slogans replace thought. 2) The most dangerous people can look normal. “Latent” destructive tendencies can hide under ordinary appearances, especially when society becomes a mob. 3) You don’t really know yourself. Conscious awareness is only the surface; the unconscious (“shadow”) pushes you to project what you refuse to face onto others. 4) When people lose God, they may make the State their god. The religious impulse can shift into politics, turning leaders into sacred figures. 5) The defense is the formed individual. Resistance to the mass requires someone “organized in his individuality”—disciplined self-knowledge, not crowd identity. Where love stops, power begins—and violence and terror follow.

I want a republican, meritocratic school. Merit, whether for the teacher or for the student. We treat children like industrial products, as if they are the same at the same age. (Original: Je veux une école républicaine, méritocratique. Le mérite, que ce soit pour le professeur ou que ce soit pour l'élève. On traite les enfants comme des produits industriels, comme si c'étaient les mêmes au même âge. https://t.co/lNjk9fKNze) #Meritocracy #EducationReform #Individuality #FR
