In the third part of our dive into the JFK assassination, Jax and Max discuss the Soviet Union/KGB Investigation. Due to the extremely high tensions due to the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviets were very keen to ensure that they were not blamed for the assassination. To our knowledge, no official accusation was ever directed towards the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's investigation was largely dismissed, however, due to mistrust of the "EVIL COMMUNISTS".   **This is not a completely comprehensive dive into the JFK Assassination.

In this stand-alone episode, Jaxon and Max discuss the hypothesis of “Mass Formation” posited by Dr. Mattias Desmet. This Mass Formation can be described as crowd psychosis or mass hypnosis. Dr. Desmet suggests that there are four element that must be in place in order for the Mass Formation to occur.  1) There needs to a lot of socially isolated people or people who experience a lack of social bond  2) People who experience a lack of ‘sense making'. Unable to come to sensible conclusions.  3) There is a lot of Free-Floating Anxiety (FFA). Free-Floating because there's nothing to connect their anxiety to. No focal point. Unable to identify what's causing and so no way to deal with it.  4) There's also a lot of Free-Floating Psychological-Discontent. People may experience their daily lives as lacking any purpose or meaning Dr. Mattias Desmet is a professor of Psychology at the University of Ghent in Belgium.  Here's the link to the article that got Max thinking about the topic as the subject of an episode.  https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis Max's Note: While editing the audio for this episode I missed a few “bad words”.

The modern zombie virus is here. We are all infected. Zombies are rampant in our new world. Their only goal is to CONSUME. They have no regard for the people around them that may suffer from their actions. Are we the Walking BRAIN Dead?  In this standalone episode, Jaxon and Max discuss the parallels between society's current mindset and traditional fictional zombies. Too many of us walk around with tunnel vision, oblivious to the rest of the world. It's time to take off the blinders and examine how to move past the never ending cycle of consumption for the sake of consuming.  Max's Note: While editing the audio for this episode I missed a few “bad words”.
