Description
This week the author and hose of the Conspirituality podcast, Derek Beres joins me to talk about the strange axis between spirituality, wellness and conspiracy theories that have taken over the internet.  We don't pull any punches in this conversation, touching on the rise of anti-vaccine conspiracies, lizard people, coffee enemas, and how the neuroscientist Andrew Huberman has seemed to shuck off the aura of respectability and turned into a full-throated pseudoscientist.  Conspirituality Webpage: https://www.conspirituality.net/  Podcast: Apple:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conspirituality/id1515827446 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2imIsM2NZRPpQvI56TLdM5 Book:https://amzn.to/48rQWKy Derek Beres on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@derekberes Support this show on Patreon and get exclusive EARLY ACCESS and access to a private discord server:  Read my Substack Newsletter Scott Carney Investigates Podcast Books: ⁠The Wedge⁠  ⁠What Doesn't Kill Us⁠ ⁠The Enlightenment Trap⁠ The Vortex The Red Market Social Media: YouTube  Instagram  Facebook    Twitter  Bluesky  ©PokeyBear LLC (2023)
