The Madness of the Crowds | Dr. Ben Young | West Campus

Summary

The sermon uses March Madness to illustrate the concept of "madness" in both sports and society. It highlights how unexpected upsets in the tournament, where underdogs defeat giants, mirror the societal phenomenon of collective irrationality, exemplified by Douglas Murray's book "The Madness of Crowds." The takeaway is that while bracketology can lead to disappointment, societal "madness" is a more concerning trend of collective irrationality.
