"The most problematic aspect of the current wave is how pervasive it is, how deeply conspiratorial it is, and how much it shuns expertise in every domain. That’s the most dangerous aspect of it."

Every damn time, like clockwork.

Trying to pay attention the full goodness of the latest #Conspirituality episode, but can't quite get @matthewremski's "fermenting monk shit" and subsequent green mucus explosion out of my head.

As social media turns, and inter generational dialogue questions it, fumbling toward sense making, I find myself leaning on readily available cultural analysis of #conspirituality.

What I am seeing is people are exposed to bad science and bad readings by inadequate talks via recommendation systems. There is no pubmed, no research/book club, no text, and the responsible guide is “you might also like…”

The media figures leveraging the lost are problematic.

"The vaccine tells the wellness-world consumer that they are not special, that they need no special crystals or remedies, nor special attention. It tells the alternative health practitioner who claims to be able to “boost the immune system” with herbs or acupuncture to take a seat and STFU."

#introduction contd...

Rediscovering my #activist streak after many years of #spirituality induced inaction (huge thanks to #Conspirituality pod https://www.conspirituality.net/ for reawakening my dormant #militanttendency). Especially interested in the end of #capitalism and what comes next. In listening and reading mode to learn how to use my voice to amplify those voices that really need to be heard ✊

This #Conspirituality episode really hit it out of the park. https://www.conspirituality.net/episodes/128-the-trauma-of-caste-thenmozhi-soundararajan

@ryanbruno checkout out your Substack. Have you met @derekberes yet, and checked out his podcast #Conspirituality?

Great podcast. Wholeheartedly recommend it.https://www.conspirituality.net/ #Conspirituality

@Anarchy_How @Cult_archaeo @tess_machling have you checked the #Conspirituality #podcast?

I highly recommend it for its diversity of topics at the intersection between #spirituality and #RightWingExtremism

This episode even covers the origin of the term, who Charlotte Ward is, and how this paper came to be.

Habe jetzt Gefährlicher Glaube, die radikale Gedankenwelt der Esotherik fertig gehört. Die Recherchen von @kattascha und ihrer Kollegin sind großartig und treffen den Nagel auf den Kopf. Trotzdem, als eher esotherik-offener Mensch mit Neigungen zu einem holistischen Weltbild bin ich immer noch ratlos. Ja, Corona ließ mich mit einigem abschließen, was mir lieb und teuer war, aber kommt jetzt nur kalte Rationalität? #Bookstodon #Conspirituality #Spirituality

#introduction I am #GenX & spent the first half of my adult life raising three kids. In ‘15 I went back to school and got a degree in #Anthropology and am now completing a #Women and #Gender studies grad program. I study the online radicalization of women into extreme right-wing movements.

Current project is an #ethnography involving participants of #January6. Other interests: the #tradwife movement, #masculity, & internet based #conspirituality.

Today I excitedly received several digitized copies of a hard-to-find occult magazine from the 1920s called The Glass Hive 🤩 It was published by one of Brother XII's early high-ranking disciples (who left the Aquarian Foundation pretty quickly), & Brother XII used it to publish Aquarian Foundation info before they had their own magazine. These issues include interesting insight into the early days of the Aq Foundation's time in Canada!

Time for an #introduction. As a librarian, I have been studying #conspiracy theories for the last few years. I tend to focus on the influence of religion and how this ties to #Conspirituality. I'm working on gathering abstracts for an edited collection on the overlap of conspiracy theories and #popculture.

I also have been lucky to connect with people in the #deathstudies world and am working on a collection with @GraveyardArch that will hopefully be published in the next year or two.
