Follow the Science - the Messiah Complex (Nederlands gesproken)

In this episode of Follow the Science, the phenomenon of the messiah complex is discussed. The discussion explores the difference between sincere, altruistic motivation and psychological drivers such as narcissism. According to Schippers, the messiah complex is often linked to a double agenda: people seem genuinely driven by ideals such as saving the world or helping others, but their actions are simultaneously driven by deeper desires for power, money, influence or confirmation. A critical look at leadership, ideology and the psychology behind self-proclaimed 'saviors'.
