When the Left Goes Right - Conspiracies and Trump-love among spiritual progressives. Guests: Jason Lange and Nomali Perera

Summary: <br> Wow a great stimulating conversation. – Mary Linda Landauer<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> These two guests were particularly interesting. a fascinating discussion. – Dave Cardano<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A couple weeks ago I received an email from my old pal <a href="https://www.jasonlange.me/podcast/">Jason Lange</a> with the question: “What’s your pulse on all the ‘conspirituality’ out there?”<br> I’d never heard the term “conspirituality”, but I understood what he meant when he described “the weird convergence I’m seeing of ‘spiritual’ friends going hard right, Trump, even QAnon.”<br> What an interesting phenomenon! I’ve seen some of it myself, even in the integral world. Is it a reaction against the recent eruptions of mean green? An evolutionary regression brought on by stressful life conditions? Or perhaps a strange integration, as is the way of evolution, of the split-off fragments of earlier stages? Or … do they see something true that the rest of us are missing?<br> I wanted to know more, so I invited Jason and our colleague <a href="https://www.practicalintegral.com/nomali-perera">Nomali Perera</a>, who has a keen cultural eye, to a conversation. I learned a lot (what a world!) and trust you will too.  – Jeff Salzman<br> <br> * 1:00 Conspirituality, what a great word!<br> * 16:13 Can we even know what’s true?<br> * 20:00 Trump, the mind-blower<br> * 20:58 Vaccines and the DNA of the USA<br> * 40:58 Who or what has authority in the face of conspirituality?<br> * 42:21 Healthy American nationalism and Biden<br> * 45:16 The emerging Integral political right<br> * 52:52 So, what now?
