Back To The Future (Of Fucking Shit Up)

A woman sexually abused by a "cult" leader when she was a girl has told an Adelaide court she was made to feel like "a piece of meat purely for his pleasure" and that she was required to serve the group's "god", or she would be punished. 

Which is such a typical story of The NewAge Movement, you'd think a GOOP or NXIVM would never stand a chance of ever getting off the ground. But, instead, they're encouraged - by women - as a rebellious act. Against what, they don't say. It's just blind rebellion. Dressed as a quest for power.

Or a will to it.

 

Pharmacists In Germany And The UK Agree: Homeopathy Is A Load Of Bollocks

Well, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s verdict on homeopathy has come to town, and it's almost identical to the Krauts', so we can only conclude one thing:

If you've ever licked a homeopath's balls, you couldn't aim lower.

Unless, of course, you worked at GOOP...

You've Eventually Got To Learn You Must Take It (If There's Nothing Pinned Down)

What happens in a country that knows psychics don't have powers, but lets them operate anyway? The authorities start to make it really easy for others - like a company of NewAge bullshit artists who became worth half a billion dollars:

Goop to Pay $145,000 Settlement for 'Misleading' Claims About the Effectiveness of Vaginal Eggs

Ouch. That's not gonna hurt. I can see how this plays out elsewhere in society:

One reason the break-ins have become so common is that almost no one is ever arrested in these cases. Back in January, the San Francisco Chronicle reported there had been 81,000 reported break-ins over a period of seven years, but only 13 cases resulted in arrests.

So, the NewAge is a criminal heyday. But that's what happens in a country that knows psychics don't have powers, but lets them operate anyway. So now what?

Tell Me One More Time About How NewAge Is Harmless And Definitely Not A Cult

Here's what was written about Google's little post-election seance:

The tone of this meeting is that of mourning but the underlying stance is adversarial.

And about GOOP being called out for exploiting it's customers:

“Are there learnings you’ve had from the flak that you’ve gotten?” Amoruso asked. 

Paltrow described “a lack of willingness to step into who I am ... Going into a hole is exactly the opposite of the lesson.” 

“The lesson,” she added, “is to energetically cultivate, ‘fuck you.’”

That's a lot of hostility, and unreasonableness, from a yoga and meditation crowd. I would have thought years of "practice" would've healed that by now.

As the "Fake News" battle rages on, there's more goodness coming from the front:

Apple just permanently banned Infowars from the App Store

Mark my words: Next, conservatives start pointing out that GOOP is in the exact same business, and then we'll start to see some action. TMR's countdown is ON!

After receiving a quarter million more in Jade Egg-inspired venture capital funding, I'm sure poor little Gwynnie is as heartbroken over this as her many predecessors.

I'm waaay past trying to "read between the lines" on NewAge, but, when I do still read about it, certain stuff does leap out at me:

"The combination of aspirational blogging, female-targeted marketing and the alternative health industry has created something with significant potential to cause harm...while some practices are supported by evidence or are culturally important and date back millennia, some are pure opportunistic snake oil: anti-scientific and crass in exploiting illness for profit...The danger of Goop isn't simply in the broader risks of pseudoscience and misinformation, it's in the exploitation of medicine's sexism to create a new and gendered market for snake oil. The wellness industry isn't pushing for more and better science into women's health — it wants instead to create a secondary pathway for...disproportionately exposing women to the harms of quackery."

Why that doesn't leap out - to women - I can only wonder,...
