For this Unicorn No. 18, we continue our investigations into the Seven Sages of Greek Antiquity and their maxims. The adage "Prudence in all things" (Μελέτη τὸ πᾶν) is attributed to Periander of Corinth. Beyond understanding this maxim, we can ask ourselves how it was possible that Greek Antiquity could award this bloodthirsty tyrant the title of "Sage," among the seven great sages of Antiquity? It is to this reflection that I invite you...

I have never attended more funerals in my life than in the last ten years in Colombia; the reason is not an increased mortality, but the fact that death here, where I live, concerns many people beyond the deceased's loved ones, family and friends.

Ariane Bilheran spoke as an expert to the Reiner Fuellmich investigation committee, during session number 78, on November 13, 2021, of the Corona Investigative Committee.

The religious fanaticism of adolescents is the hallmark of a societal and political system that has become paranoid, in which the logic of power is harassing and no longer governed by authority. In the suburbs of France, recruitment has been rather successful. It reveals the deep social, familial, and spiritual flaws in the society in which these adolescents grew up.

In an age of ubiquitous advertising, Klemperer's reflection remains acutely relevant. Better than anyone else, he understood the power of enchantment and self-alienation conveyed by the words of language.

The author of The Language of the Third Reich was a firsthand witness to the German totalitarian drift. Here we continue reading his diary, rich in poignant descriptions.

Victor Klemperer's study of the rhetoric of Nazism is a text of universal scope that allows us to understand the inner logic of all totalitarian phenomena. Ariane Bilheran undertakes here a detailed portrait of this great witness of the 20th century.

Let's continue our analysis of the political marketing deployed on citizens. Omnipresent today, across various crucial issues, social engineering distributes ritualistic codes that signify membership in a particular game, which people choose to be the one designated by those in power. In doing so, they gamble on having a greater chance of "winning".

How can we explain mass adherence to ideologies in totalitarian systems, and the irrational actions they command? More than ten years ago, in my business consulting work, I coined the notion of "delusional contagion" [1] for the literature on psychosocial risks and suffering at work.

Interview with Ariane Bilheran, PhD - Part 2: the Desmet/Breggin controversy; the question of responsibility; the concept of delusional contagion, and more.   We are living a "war" against the human being, against our human rights, against the population... we have no choice but to resist and protect the sacred dimension of the human being.   This is the second part of our interview with Ariane Bilheran, PhD, philosopher, clinical psychologist, doctor in psychopathology a

The first part of our interview discusses totalitarianism and the psychological mechanisms it relies upon. The second part delves further and looks at the Mathias Desmet / Peter Breggin controversy. To understand the concept of totalitarianism, which is increasingly being discussed following the COVID-19 crisis and the various coercive measures that have been put in place, the logical step is to call on a real expert in the field.

The totalitarian drift since 2020 by Ariane Bilheran

in the context of the current war in Ukraine, I wanted to gather the account of a key witness to wartime Afghanistan regarding the behavior and decadence of Western elites in an occupied country. This witness, of course, wishes to remain anonymous. We will call him Nikos here.

The silhouettes of an occult sect run through all of contemporary history. Are we really sure that we defeated Nazism and closed the file at Nuremberg? How then could we have allowed the personnel, techniques, and ideas of this movement to be sheltered and then recycled in post-war Europe? And why does it arouse so much fascination and denial today?

Conflict and harassment do not mix well, because where the former is not allowed, the latter takes its place. In fact, a conflict always has a fruitful dimension, which is conceived in terms of its resolution. In harassment, the dimension is destructive. What about mediation?

International Symposium of Mental Health organized in Portugal by Aliança Saúde Portugal, about the current pandemic of fear propagated in the humanity.

A specialist in the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ariane Bilheran helps us understand the idea of "comfort health" through an observation she makes about the crisis we are experiencing today: "so many people agree to give up their freedom under the cover of a lie, without having a knife to their throat, far from it. Quite simply because many of them aspire to the preservation of their comfort and their privileges, and because they have been chained to them little by little.

Privileges to travel, to go to restaurants... so many privileges granted to "good citizens" that can be abolished at the Princes' whim, but of this, the "good citizen" is not yet aware... When the basis of the social contract is no longer the equality of citizens in law, but an inequality of rights in principle, based on who is obedient and who is not, there is no longer any civil liberty. The social contract is therefore null and void, and with the loss of civil liberty, cit

Traditionally, and throughout humanity, there have been places where everyone could take refuge in a "neutral" zone of conflict, in protection, sheltered. With or without papers, with or without money, innocent or criminal, destitute, beggar, handicapped, old, whoever you are, whatever you have done, you could be welcomed and safe there.
