Description

Dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse, and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their followers by co-opting conspiracy theories on a spectrum of intensity ranging from vaccines to child trafficking. In the process, spiritual beliefs that have nurtured creativity and meaning are transforming into memes of a quickly-globalizing paranoia. Conspirituality Podcast attempts to bring understanding to this landscape. A journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds. Mainstream outlets have noticed the problem. We crowd-source, research, analyze, and dream answers to it.

This podcast is the biggest echo chamber of disinformation I've seen. There isn't a single Big Food or Big Pharma talking point built on sham studies you guys disagree with. I have to listen to you just to keep track of all the dumb shit you leak into the "good liberal" yoga community eco system. ie: You are shills for Big Industry and their selective faux science.

Julian has fallen hard from the sensible person he was 15 years ago. Now he thinks everything is "right wing", "conspiracy theory" and other nonsense. Dellusion.

Neal is right about EVERY criticism of you and he delivered it in a very friendly way. I hope you take them to heart, especially Mathew the paranioac.

Another episode that has nothing to do with spirituality or conspiracy. Just another topic of Remski's favorite Hate Boner topic, complete with a string of dellusional nonsense.

Very few will confront their misinformation that cost lives because it means facing themselves as morally flawed. Just look at this podcast and it's three hosts. I bet in 20 years when the moral fervor of this time has passed, you still won't.

Julian, you've become so narrow in your perspective, you now see conspiracy theorists everywhere. You read into others things that don't exist. You shouldn't have pushed those with a different view out of your sensemaking circle. Now you see "narcissists" in those who simply have a differing view. Check your attachment to being the great rationalist. Between this and your echo chamber, your best efforts to be rational and against conspiracy bias are leading you to irrational conspiracy bia

With your dellusions, the left will never regain it's cool factor. Among several other reasons that you're too tribal to understand, the Right has it because they know that traditional roles had good reasons, many of which were beneficial to women. The story is not one of oppression and those paying attention are starting to see how the state of dating and relationships makes it obvious. . Julian knows this, but because he is captured by your PMC audience, he has to pretend otherwise.

Everyone knows that Brand was targeted because he was a rare heterodox voice that appealed to middle aged women (and that is the most coveted political demographic as it is the one to most vote in a block). Men generally don't pay him any attention. Their focus is on other heterodox voices. "Man Stans" barely exist. Not the first time this podcast was peddling in nonsense, is it?

The error you are referring to is called "scientific reductionism" which is exactly the error that this podcast constantly makes. It's why you got COVID massively wrong and why you are not much more than a hijacked tool for big pharma. Until you realize that your so-called 'evidence based medicine' is nothing more than 'pro the only interest groups that can afford massive studies'.... you are hopeless. I'm glad the yoga community is finally seeing through you and beginning to push back.

Of course, this podcast doesn't ride the outrage machine at all!

If I want someone to maximally misunderstand the world around them, this is the podcast I heartily recommend.

You are a cult and see conspiracy and fascism everywhere. Just because your conspiracy theory is decentralized doesn't make you any less sophist than a flat earther. Thanks for showing us what the FoxNews of the yoga world looks like.

I also never liked hitting the k-hole, as a self-conscious person, it is like your sense of self gets squeezed through 1000 different dimensions and was quite anxiety inducing. However, there was a short while where a legal version called Methoxetamine was sold in my country, and that k-hole experience was borderline spiritual, no fear from not being able to define of find yourself at all. It's no longer available legally here but knowing an actual good version exists that hardly anyone's even heard of is a tad frustrating and lonely knowledge.
