Artful and articulate

“These guys are a masters of rhetorical articulation... but with third grade abstract thinking abilities.
It’s laughable when they take on health and science topics as though they know anything about physiology and biochemistry. It’s kinda laughable that they get so snarky about non-experts being pundits when that’s exactly what they’re doing. Ummm… where are your scientific references?
Derek is so full of hate and arrogance. Hatred and arrogance is what’s wrong with the world. Ironically, a podcast with this topic should be safeguarding us from this very thing we are being exposed to. The podcast is polarized and divisive and breeds contempt and more polarization. They've shown me exactly why people believe the things they believe. It's not love, compassion, or logic. It's narcissistic supremacy.
Give me the assumptive license they take with their targets’ intentions and I’ll conjecture that Derek is jealous of those successful gurus who actually have a following. When he failed in gaining a yoga cult for himself he decided to lash back and create an anti-cult show as a platform to showcase his keen intelligence. It’s got all things ingredients of a super villain origin story.
But the contradiction in their messaging is what blows my mind. The main assumption and premise of the podcast is the conviction that "conspiring" isn't something humans actually do. Conspiracy (and by extension, conspiracy theories) is a fabrication made up by paranoid, uneducated imbeciles who are usually power hungry.
But then, when you listen to their arguments against evil anti-establishment "gurus," suddenly the idiotic, power-hungry gurus are credited with all sorts of intricate, methodical, and consciously-initiated conspiratorial methods to mislead the public for personal gain and aggrandizement.
So, actually, they do believe people conspire. At least the cult leaders, non-mainstream medical theories, and non-mainstream politicians do.
And yet, all the while the implication is that somehow the current left wing mainstream narrative and powers that be are beyond reproach and incapable of deception—let alone conspiracy. Greed and conspiracies by big corporations and power structures are shrugged off as either miniscule or out of the ordinary, while those not in power but reaching for it are absolutely off their rockers. And I guess this is ostensibly because of—you know—"science." (Which, by the way, as a scientist myself I'd be embarrassed for their lack of understanding of biology and statistics except for the fact that their word mastery is so impressive. So they sound like they know what they're talking about. They don't.)
I like it when they invite guests to the show who challenge their polarized hate speech. Because when it's just them talking, it's a circle jerk of arrogant, over-confident haters. Hard to endure, let alone enjoy.
All in all, the podcast contains broadly researched—but not deeply researched—drivel spouting off status quo messaging that's more of a masturbatory show than anything truly useful.”Read full review »

“Much needed critical thought leveraged towards the multi-million (or is it billion now)? “Wellness” industry; I’m grateful for this podcast. However, to echo other critics I do wish there was a little more effort made to curtail the conversational cross talk, and more effort put into editing....”Read full review »
