Robert Roots

Great shout

Christopher Kavanagh

You are going to be disappointed because we are not commenting really at all on his political content and make that clear up front. It is primarily about his evolution/cosmic worldview.

What a time to you picked to cover Robert Wright! He has lately been busy defending Russian regime's aggression againt Ukraine. What's amazing is that he calls this defense empathy. Since you see he understands the pain that the Russian elite feels of lost imperial colonies and if only the west (and dispicable eastern europeans) would understand this, Putin would put down his toys and go home. One of the worst gurus yet on your radar. What's reassuring is that he doesn't really have much reach.

Christopher Kavanagh

Likely yes.

Dalton Riggs

Will there be a Daniel Schmachtenberger episode/interview? One that consideres him separately, not in conjunction with Jordan Hall a/o Jamie Wheal?

Christopher Kavanagh

The Steak Umms account has pretty explicitly discussed this. Part of what makes it interesting!

Interested in the steak umms interview even if it's not really a guru topic. I think the concept of brands behaving like "relatable" people can be funny but the fact that so many of them do it and the way their posts turn into media events is a bad thing. It obfuscates the fact that virtually everything they do is about making profit, and that associating complex personalities or sets of emotions with a product or brand is literally what the modern advertising industry is about.

Christopher Kavanagh

It’s been recorded!

I think we should all take bets to see if they do the Robert Wright episode

Christopher Kavanagh

Sure we will be getting into bitcoin and tech stuff for a while after we clear out this list so self-actualising types probably fit in there.

Richard De Val

Thanks Nate. Yes, I enjoyed it, however it was way too short and I’d love the guys to get into him and his ilk properly

Nate

Have you listened to this Richard? https://new.podtail.com/podcast/sounds-like-a-cult/the-cult-of-tony-robbins/

Nate

Yessssssssssssssss

Paul Bowman

Ah, the Bobiverse ep, finally! Jaron Lanier also a good choice, apriori he will likely score highly on the guruometer, but we'll see. And a lot of the upcoming interviews look like fun (and a welcome break from the grinding tedium of IDW/antivaxx muppets). I look forward to Liam mercilessly dissecting your political and epistemological failings :)

Christopher Kavanagh

It’s the second time it’s been recorded!

Richard De Val

Can’t wait for the latest Pod. Would you consider doing Tony Robbins and other Neoliberal Priests ? In my experience, he’s been gritting for many years, and it would be interesting to have him and that ‘scene’ decoded
