The Mistaken Era

“People thought the Beatles were God. That's not correct” 

 - Frank Zappa

Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat just came out in June, 2023. I haven't read it, but, I think it's safe to assume, a bestseller with three authors has its subject matter, and phrasing, chosen well. So there's little doubt, between those pages at least, the NewAge movement is a real phenomena (not a cultural fad that died in the '70s) and what its members are doing is causing the world considerable damage. 

It's just a little teeny-tiny bit late.

Twisting Themselves Into "Nots" (That's Why They're All Over The TV Nowadays)

"Even though yoga communities have verbiage around collectivism as slogans, the reality is they are very focused on themselves,...politically disengaged,...also scientifically illiterate." 

 - Derek Beres, co-host of the podcast Conspirituality - describing why anti vaccine misinformation spreads through wellness - on NPR.

 

Who Didn't See This Coming?

From Hippies, attempting to levitate the Pentagon, to NewAge Nazis hooking-up with the world's rightwing. 

This is a cult that's going places.
