Bonus episode, piloted by Matthew.
There is a subtle form of conspirituality that rides on the familiar dialectic of political cynicism and spiritual promise—but it's dressed for a button-down salon dinner in Harvard Square. No crystals in sight, no essential oils wafting through the room.
Sam Harris isn’t sounding the alarm about the Cabal or the Illuminati: his bugaboos are Islam, or “wokeism,” or “cancel culture.”
And he isn’t saying that starseeds will save the day, or that a Great Awakening is upon us. He’s not so low-brow.
His salvation product is meditation, which he says can validate his political insights. And hey, there's an app for that!
