RATING
Conspicuously absent any ref to the NYTletter.com, esp weird given timing of release. Nice to hear new angle on contemporary trans issues by emerging public voice; quaint to hear Remski's mind getting blown by pretty standard take on gender non-conformity. Plenty of internal contradictions, re: Brink's hottakes; appreciate Remski's keen call-out on the Americanisme underpinning 'live & let live' WRT hate speech. Still, overall good convo - 'two timelines' offer cogent summary of last 60 years' social movements, if lecturette in vibe. Enjoyed unexpected invocation of G. García Márquez & extensive citation list.Conspirituality.

From The Podcast
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...
