Explore the psychological mechanisms that make societies susceptible to authoritarian rule in this thought-provoking TEDx talk. Delve into the warning signs of rising authoritarian regimes and understand how our brain's protective instincts can paradoxically lead us towards oppression. Learn from a high school senior's year-long research on the psychology of power, focusing on the dynamics between oppressive leaders and the oppressed. Gain insights into the complex interplay between psychology and political science, and discover how willingly people may hand over power to authoritarian figures. Reflect on the importance of recognizing these patterns to safeguard democratic values and individual freedoms.
