Listen "Ep 3: B is For The Blending Reality of Conspirituality "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I use a recent Rebel Wisdom video titled “The Q Anon Shaman and the Return of the Mythic” and my participation in a live Q and A with two of the guests in that video to dig into the topic of the rise of conspirituality in our culture.
To do this digging, I use a variety of tools, including an Integral Theory lens, and an overview of how the past twenty years of US media failures has fueled conspirituality. I also discuss why I think the notion that racism is driving things like QAnon is overstated and my frustration that people I've previous jived with such as Michael Moore are promoting this. I end with some rambling about health topics, including how I make my fruit and veggie smoothies, weather in Japan and the need for good storytelling,
And last in the intro, I share some thoughts about the recent transition from President Trump to President Biden
