Classic Case of Rescuer Syndrome

“They overly catastrophize everything, so they can come in and play the White Knight and rescue everyone from their previous doom and gloom. I grew up in a proselytizing religion that was just like this. They spend all this time trying to convince people things are so bad by misrepresenting headlines and events, taking quotes from doomsayers as if they were experts, then comes their sales pitch. Jesus, pollyanneism, crystals, essential oils, more sleep, less sleep, whatever it is that will solve the problems they just tried to convince you is making you miserable.
The biggest issue I have is the sheer amount of misinformation they put out. Left wing misinformation is just as harmful as right wing misinformation, they both get in the way of the people trying to get things done. They avoid true researchers and instead bring in people who wrote a book, a book that seeks facts to fit their narrative. Plenty of people available who can give you the ins and outs and the nuances, but nope, let’s get people who are on a book tour. In the few episodes I listened to - in the hopes it would get better - I literally learned nothing, and the only benefit possibly obtained was the eye exercise I got by reflexively rolling my eyes every other sentence while they spewed misinformation.
I’ll save you a lot of time: everything is the fault of white males and the only solution is for white males to give all their money to everyone else - anonymously of course because otherwise it would be colonialism - and just stop existing.”

It is in the framework of "we will be happy if everything...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy this podcast because it moves past the fashion of oversimplification, needless over complication, cynicism, and tribalism. I also deeply appreciate that the hosts are not Pollyannas.”
