An epidemic of man-made mass delusions
An epidemic of man-made mass delusions

Summary/Abstract: This study reviews possible evidence of man-made mass delusions related to four Sentinel events in America. The study findings indicate commonly held public views of “No Genocide committed by allied forces during the second world war”, “Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy”, “Adam Lanza massacred 26 children and three adults at the Sandy Hook elementary school” and “9/11 tragedy was primarily caused by Moslem terrorists” seem to be false beliefs. Man-made mass delusions may delay progress by failure to learn from past errors. Political leaders and healthcare professionals should be warned about the adverse consequences of mass delusions. Adoption of scientific principles to study sentinel events is necessary.
