In this video I make an inquiry into the behaviours that have been found during the pandemic, by looking at aspects of Carl Jung's psychological types (typology // functions) within introversion and extroversion, and using my own philosophy // perspective, I partake in analysing conformity, scepticism, radicalism and blind faith found within the pandemic and ask the question: why has such a psychic epidemic occurred today?

In this video//episode I blend Greek mythology and Jungian psychology with modern 21st century phenomena. I talk about the archetype of the digital anima (devouring mother) & how the TikTok dance craze is a symbolic representation of the dancing Maenads within Greek Dionysian cult, and how their desire to experience Dionysian eternity is no different from the digital eternity within the internet of the digital anima.
