“I’ve loved this podcast for about a year now, very high quality interviews from a plethora of different experiences and perspectives. Although, some of the most recent episodes have become increasingly conspiratorial and fear mongering, especially in context to current events. The host preaches against fear mongering yet encourages people to resist “the system” by not wearing masks, and generally spreading scary misinformation about Covid19 and the recent George Floyd protests, suggesting that it’s all staged. I completely understand and agree with questioning everything, and I know it’s not always easy to find credible sources of information, but I do not get neutral vibes from listening to recent episodes. You speak about “truth” as if the only possible truth is that everything the CDC, WHO, or other organizations publish are lies (unless it conveniently supports the conspiracy being talked about). Questioning the narrative does not mean completely disregarding one side of the story. I’ve listened to multiple episodes now where guests attempt to explain EMF health risks without evidence or even a vague understanding of the topic. I’m not claiming that all of these theories are completely untrue, but providing no consistent evidence for such claims, and then stating that your motive is “finding truth”, comes off as highly biased. Also, if not wearing a mask for the safety of others is somehow ruining your life and making you feel “suppressed”, then I’m not sure what to say. Just generally getting super privileged and misinformed vibes, as well as a sense that if someone disagrees with these beliefs then they aren’t “woke” enough, or are “governed by fear”. These sweeping generalizations and only interviewing one perspective of current events is directly hypocritical to what this podcast claims to be about. I really truly do appreciate and love listening to all types of perspectives, especially ones I disagree with, but it’s become cringe worthy to listen to the same “woke” narrative in spirit of questioning “the narrative”. As if the only true narrative is the narrative that’s completely opposite to the scientific and general public narrative. It feels very dismissing of real issues that many people are doing their best to cope with and adapt to. Not everyone is in a position to believe away problems and responsibilities.”
