🌉 Bridge: Mass Madness → Messy

In the first video, we talked about the masses getting carried away by hype, fear, or power games – Dr. John Campbell warned us about “Extraordinary Popular Delusions” and how easily entire societies drift into the collective narrative.

And then comes Lola Young.
All alone on a stage, she sings “Messy” – and suddenly it becomes clear: While the crowd is going crazy, what’s actually exciting is how a single person expresses their own little truth through music.

➡️ While the crowd staggers between witch hunts, alchemists, and groupthink, Lola sits there, takes the microphone, and essentially says:
"Guys, my chaos is honest. My madness is mine. And that's exactly why it's valuable."

Seen this way:

Dr. Campbell shows how mass madness is created.

Lola Young shows how to transform personal chaos into art.

Both clips speak of "messiness"—just on completely different levels.
