Coming to You Ever So Hysterically from the Pink

A mass hysteria happens when the public gets a wrong idea about something that has strong emotional content and it triggers cognitive dissonance that is often supported by confirmation bias. In other words, people spontaneously hallucinate a whole new (and usually crazy-sounding) reality and believe they see plenty of evidence for it. The Salem Witch Trials are the best-known example of mass hysteria. The McMartin Pre-School case and the Tulip Bulb hysteria are others. The dotcom bubble probably qualifies. We might soon learn that the Russian Collusion story was mass hysteria in hindsight. The curious lack of solid evidence for Russian collusion is a red flag. But we’ll see how that plays out.

Scott Adams Blog (Dilbert):  How To Know You’re In a Mass Hysteria Bubble

Zen Yogi:  he sounds remarkably lucid for someone who is hysterical

Maybe he gets hysterical looking at all the hysterical people since twenty minutes on a social network will whack that mole anytime.

He just might be a bit hysterical since he thinks the Russian collusion may be real.  They're still nursing that sick nag in Facebook as well.

Zen Yogi:  the beauty part is when they advise other people to read

Yah, that's some funny shit, my brother.

Zen Yogi:  do we need another lament about how they didn't even retain "Lord of the Flies?"

Nah, since hysteria reduces your attention span to seconds.  They already forgot.

Ref:  Whack-a-Mole is an arcade game in which a mole, symbolic of creativity, pops up its head and your job is to whack it.  The game improves hand-eye coordination and also teaches children to destroy anything new on sight.


Since we only have a few seconds, let's trigger some hysteria now.  When you get better advice for democracy from Russia than anywhere else, America already lost.

CNN:  Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova: Authoritarianism is spreading like 'sexually transmitted diseases'

Zen Yogi:  you just have a crush on Nadya Tolokonnikova

Of course I do as does every male with a functional set of eyeballs and a minimal complement of testosterone.  That doesn't refute the truth of her words.

Pussy Riot's Nadezhda "Nadya" Tolokonnikova, who was imprisoned for protesting Russian President Vladimir Putin, says "democracy is being eroded" by leaders like President Donald Trump.

"We've seen the authoritarian tendencies is parading all around the world as sexually transmitted diseases, and we think it's time to make connection," Tolokonnikova told CNN's #GetPolitical series.

Meanwhile, Democrats claim the moral highground even after Clinton was selling weapons to Saudis for the extirpation of Yemenis and that seems to have been the motivation to publish since they got lots of stink on Trump and Putin from the same lass while Clinton still wafts past like the Lily of the Valley.


Thanks, Pink, since it shows The Temptations and their "Ball of Confusion" evolved into a "World of Delusion" and they play it all on a four-inch screen.

Zen Yogi:  they miniaturized the nuke war

That's not all they miniaturized, mate.
