When I dove briefly into the social media of the Highland Park parade mass shooter, Robert Crimo, he followed a lot of people who seemed similar to these UFO weirdos.

God, how I hate these charlatan grifter cult leaders. I just can’t imagine how empty one’s soul must be to want to lead a pack of people you know you’ve duped. I say that as someone who doesn’t even believe in a metaphysical soul, but... I guess it’s a metaphor for empathy and conscience.

That Ancient Aliens show on the History channel feeds people into this cult.

I don't agree with that. I've watched Ancient Aliens for years, the ones where Action Bronson narrates while he dabs, are the best. But I'm not thinking of joining a cult. I just think there must have been some kind of advanced life form that taught ancient people how to build structures that we still don't know how they were made to such exacting standards.

I had no idea there is a show called the Ancient Aliens on the History channel J Rance and Theseus Mode. I am not surprised I suppose. It is very difficult not to become cynical and overwhelmed with all of this mind fu*ckery going on. Try to stay grounded and focused in the Truth. Nice to meet you J Rance. 😊🌷

Yes, it is disgusting how the WWW was manipulated to harm people. I had a blast on the Internet back in the early 2000s. I'm glad you are still there for your friend. He needs you. 🤍

This New Age, metaphysical, woo woo, hippie, Depak Chopra, Ram Dass, guru, meditation, yoga, Oprah, Eckhart Tolle, charismatic crowd has melted and devolved into a full, on death cult. Yikes

Certainly not doing that. Mostly was referring to the fake charlatans like Chopra , Ram Dass, evil fkn Indian gurus, etc. Even oppressive Tibetan Buddhist culture that subverted and devastated many lives in our country and beyond. No, the New Age movement started in the 60's, gets no pass from me. This includes the yoga moms against vaccines that are now into crazy conspiracy theories. I know these people personally. Been there done that. I'd advise you to be careful with these folks also. ✌

Might add, I've been doing yoga for years. It's just stretching. Used to follow fake intellectual, neuroscientist, meditator Sam Harris. Who followed addict Christopher Hitchens. Guess I was in a cult too until Ezra Klein helped me out. So, there's that!
