"Wellness" = "Hellness" (Like "NewAge" = "Sewage")

 

 These days, the way TMR takes in information is like this: at the ten second mark of this video discussion with Daz Dillinger, he said he and Tupac were close - because they were "both Geminis" - and that was the end of the video. Or, all that was necessary to hear, so it got turned off. See, based on the evidence of astrology, Daz Dillinger is NOT a reliable narrator, so no longer worthy.
The same goes for the media (all the papers got horoscopes, right-right?) which wants TMR to focus on, say, the Moment a brazen robber fills a trash bag with goods swiped off a Walgreens shelf in San Francisco before cycling out of the store - and NO ONE tries to stop him when, more importantly, the crime was clearly happening under a big sign saying "WELLNESS". 


That Wellness sign is of major interest to to TMR - more than some petty crime - because that Wellness sign reminds us this all could've been prevented.
Huh?
Check it: It was in 2008 that TMR noticed an Obama supporter "majoring in wellness management" who was acting out so badly he got his ass kicked by a member of the US Army. That was weird.
Then, in 2010, TMR reported Jesse Jackson's kid was the co-chairman of the House Members’ Wellness Center and reading Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now. It was through practicing Wellness and reading Eckhart Tolle (above) that Jackson had to resign from office in disgrace, after pleading guilty to charges of fraud, conspiracy, making false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, and criminal forfeiture—having used about $750,000 in campaign money for over 3000 personal purchases, that included a Michael Jackson fedora and cashmere capes. All very "spiritual."

   

Unlike everyone else, TMR never forgot (just like "progressives" shopping in Whole Foods today) the Nazis were into wellness, and environmentalism, and homeopathy, and Eastern Spiritual beliefs, so - it all looks like a LOT of trouble from here.
In 2013 The Health Care Blog found "[General Electric] cannot say definitively that its wellness strategy has brought any good things to life." Any. Why expect any different elsewhere?
Also in 2013 Vox.com wrote "Religiously, distinctively American crazes like the Victorian era’s New Thought and the popularity of the Christian prosperity gospel [are] the ideology that underpins our Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired fantasies of “wellness,”...."

To which TMR replies "Our?"
By 2018 "the connection between wellness and self-righteousness" - and how socially corrosive they are - was being well-established. The NewAgers still haven't stopped pushing it on us.
Excess crime, following all that related bad news about out-of-control egos, just seems like something that could've been predicted - and prevented.
And that could've happened by merely cutting out all that wellness talk - like TMR did Daz Dillinger and astrology - NOT marketing it.
