RATING
As with Conspirituality CORONATION episode, this offers thoughtful, and overwhelmingly empathetic analysis. Esp useful was • the framing around verbally acknowledging how folks' histories of trauma and abuse within institutional structures (like gov't or the medical industrial complex) might inflect their perception of vaccinations. • Also the language around charismatic woo-anon figures might not deal in cash, but gain the currency of attention. • The site of the CHILD as nexus of parental pride, identity, ability to protect.

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.Join Podchaser to...
