An interdisciplinary framework integrating humanistic perspectives with empirical research to understand mass dissociation at population scale under
late-stage capitalism. The human scientific theory uses historical analysis to trace how mass dissociation has operated across capitalist eras; cultural studies to understand how media,
art, and entertainment shape collective awareness; philosophical inquiry to examine the ethical implications of mass denial; literary analysis to understand the narratives that enable populations to live with contradiction. It treats mass dissociation as a phenomenon that requires both scientific rigor and humanistic depth—both measurement of patterns and interpretation of meanings, both explanation of mechanisms and understanding of experiences. This approach recognizes that mass dissociation under
late-stage capitalism is not just a social fact but a human
drama—
something that happens to
people, through
people, and for reasons that include meaning, value, and identity as much as structure and incentive.
Example: "His human scientific theory of mass dissociation of
late-stage capitalism showed how the stories we tell about success—the self-made
individual, the meritocratic dream—make it possible to ignore the structural
reality of inequality. The dissociation isn't just structural; it's narrative, embedded in the stories we live by."
