Tomas-Alexandre Pueyo Brochard is an American engineer and behavioral psychologist who wrote the paper The Hammer & The Dance, which was used as a pretext to justify worldwide lockdowns in 2020.[1][2]

Activities

Before he came to prominence in 2020, he had few works to his name. He was the author of "The Star Wars Rings", "an Amazon Best Seller that analyzes the storytelling patterns that underpin great stories such as Star Wars, Beowulf, and Harry Potter."[3]

In 2017, he held a TED talk on Why stories captivate, explaining how "Stories hack into our brain to hypnotize and influence us by following the same hidden blueprint, and how "we can use them as our secret weapon".[4]

His Wikipedia page was deleted in December 2020, as "not noteworthy enough"[5].

Covid - Hammer and Dance

"The Hammer and the Dance" was a pseudo-scientific graph purporting to show that be locking down hard, millions of lives would be saved by reducing the stress on the ICU wards.

Five texts by Pueyo were published on March 10, 2020. The first of these texts were translated into 30 languages and had over 40 million views as of March 2020.[6]
