Conspirituality

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.

Adolescents episode review
5d ago
Really appreciate your take on Adolescents — very unique and insightful. Thanks for sharing. Quick constructive criticism — at 44:03 one of you uses “female” as a noun instead of using the word “woman.” A seemingly innocuous mistake but is a bit dehumanizing, and is also noteworthy because there is not consistent usage of the word “male” in a similar way. Just wanted to put that on your radar. :)
Usually love -- but have to disagree with Telepathy Tape episode

I listened to the entire telepathy tapes series and I also listen to Conspirituality on a bi-weekly s. This was the first time I felt like the guys totally missed the point and didn't actually listen to the entire series and episodes. It's less about the spelling and more about the telepathy. Even if the facilitator is doing the typing -- how would they all be able to answer unanswerable questions?

I don’t always agree what what they’re saying, but I do really value their thoughtful take on a lot of topics. I do love that they are very aware of the dangers of group think and for lack of a better word propaganda/marketing. The most recent episode about this Netflix show called adolescence. Which I have not watched yet except for the first episode. It was very insightful. And that he found that the producers or writers the show don’t remember which one really didn’t look into what’s happening to kids and was really anti-public school. Blatantly sharing this narrow understanding in the show. This truly is the biggest problem of our time right now and probably of all time. People thinking and wanting comfort in easy answers that align with their experiences. It’s uncomfortable being in that difficult gray and to know there are NO easy answers. But if we are aware in which others are being black and white in their thinking. A
Present-day holocausts and those who commit them

Now’s the time to cover one of the most insidious, powerful and dangerous ideologies of the modern era - Zionism - from a cult and conspirituality perspective. Seems like one of the most pressing topics you could cover right now. If you’re hesitant to do so, please take some time to interrogate why.
