Really enjoying this Decoding the Gurus podcast where they scrutinise the different secular gurus that abound on the internet these days. Really funny at times and insightful in terms of deconstructing their manipulative tricks and ulterior motives. Strong recommend https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/

It’s so good. By far my favourite podcast right now, important work I reckon and laugh out loud funny at times

Does anyone have any recommendations for anything on a similar vibe to Decoding the Gurus? Anything similar would be cool but would be particularly interested in stuff deconstructing self-help quackary, or even more so Buddhist exceptionalism, neo-Advaita and other adjacent spiritual fraff. I find it heartening to no end for the Decoding the Gurus people not to shy away from criticising Buddhism, as it’s still sort of a sacred cow in a lot of circles. I’m trying to escape from a number of harmful Buddhist philosophical views so that sort of content is gold dust to me. But any similar stuff to DtG even without that focus would be appreciated

While I like the idea of If Books Could Kill and Conspirituality my first impressions of both is they’re a bit less fun and lighthearted and as such don’t really appeal.. there’s way too much seriousness in those realms already imo and the DtG people joking around with it and making it into entertainment is a big part of the appeal to me. I may or may not return to those pods after I run out of the DtG eps tho

Now I’m onto Knowledge Fight which is really entertaining despite not having much experience of Alex Jones’ output. Great comedic timing and energy and feel like it’s further immunising against bullshit in a similar way to Decoding the Gurus

Anyone got any links to high quality criticism of Sam Harris other than on Decoding the Gurus? Whether that’s podcast, articles or YouTube I’m easy. Also, tangentially I see Jung has fallen out of favour with the left. For bonus points anyone know of any spicy critiques of him? Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this
