NOT YET VERIFIED AT SOURCE as of 2026-10-12: the /the-hive-mind SOURCES list flags entry [47] "Not yet verified." CITED ON /the-hive-mind by the Fromm update, 2026-10-15. Published in Britain as The Fear of Freedom; no separate record. Quotations on the page were checked against two online transcriptions (a chapter V excerpt of the British text, and a paginated transcription of a post-1965 Holt printing that keeps the 1941 pagination); the page cites chapters only, page numbers appear on the proof pages, and PAGES ARE STILL TO BE CONFIRMED IN A PRINTED COPY.

5. Counter-evidence

Fromm's claim is clinical, not measured; the research on sudden flips does not test it.

6. Why this grade
