Description

Conspirituality co-author Julian Walker joins us to discuss how influencers have curdled New Age spirituality and wellness with the politics of paranoia.
What We Discuss with Julian Walker:

Why have so many wellness influencers gone off the conspiracy deep end since COVID began?
What do these conspiracies have in common, and who benefits from their proliferation?
How do otherwise reasonable people get sucked down conspiracy rabbit holes?
How "The female-dominated New Age (with its positive focus on self) and the male-dominated realm of conspiracy theory (with its negative focus on global politics)" has synthesized into a hybrid system of belief dubbed "Conspirituality" by sociologists Charlotte Ward and David Voas.
Why a privately owned platform's refusal to host and perpetuate the views of disinformation peddlers isn't censorship or a violation of free speech.
And much more...
