[EN] Why Does a Crowd Go Mad Together? — The Psychology Behind the Trojan War-50 Shades of the Odyssey —Wu Talks World
from 吳聊世界/Wu Talks World · host Light 吳榮光
One person alone rarely loses their mind. But a crowd? That's a different story. Three thousand years ago, a thousand ships set sail for a ten-year war — not because of one evil man, or one beautiful woman. But because, at a single moment in time, everyone agreed it should happen. In this episode, we dig into the psychology beneath the myth: diffusion of responsibility, sunk cost fallacy, and the terrifying moment when ordinary people collectively rationalize something extraordinary. The Trojan War isn't just an ancient story. It's a mirror. Have you ever gone along with something — not because it was right — but because everyone else did?
