A new documentary about sick Mormon brainwashing. This is peak fake spirituality.
I highly recommend watching it.
Here's a body cam video of police arresting this "prophet" with a trailer full of girls. He was having orgies with his underage child wives.
(Video works but is only available to watch on YouTube)
Notice how brainwashed the girls are. They don't know up from down. This happens with extreme epistemic corruption. When the mind is raised from birth in a sick culture, it has no way of knowing up from down. This is merely a microcosm of a macrocosmic problem. As these girls were raised to believe Mormonism is truth, you were raised to be believe science and rationalism are truth. It's very hard to break out of such deep epistemic bubbles when everyone you know believes in it 100%.
This is a cartoonish version of Stage Blue and its toxicity.
The fundamental problem with faith is that it gets co-opted by survival. Once everyone starts having faith in elders, authorities, leaders, and humanity — not thinking critically and skeptically — those humans always end up abusing that faith to serve survival, not God, not Truth, not Love. This is the fatal flaw of Stage Blue. You cannot navigate Reality using faith and belief. It will always be used against you by humans. You must question everything and everyone. You cannot have faith in any human being, nor any human construct. All humans are compromised. Humans are survival machines. The only thing you can have faith in when it comes to them is that humans will be survival machines. You can never trust humans with godly things. Whenever this trust is given, it is betrayed. The more it is given, the more it is betrayed. Humans need transparency to be Good, not blind faith.
Giving trust to humans is deeply irresponsible. If you trust humans, that is your fault! Humans are not to be trusted. When you trust them you shirk your responsibility for autonomous thinking.
This documentary is a great example of the awesome potency of self-deception. These people are completely self-deceived — men, women, children, the whole community and culture. It is a cancer of the mind. At some point in the past, entire civilizations were this self-deceived, which should make you stop and wonder.
I experienced such a mindfuck moment when I realized that Jan, Johan, Jons, Hans, Jean, Giovanni, Jonas, Juan, Shawn, Sean, Ivan, Ewan, Ian, Jack, Jonathan, and John were all the same name across different cultures. It was like a hundred dots connected in my mind at once. That’s insight. That’s understanding. Beautiful.
I had another mindfuck when I realized that Johnson, Jackson, Thompson, Peterson, Williamson, Erickson, Michaelson, Nicholson, Anderson, Christiansen, Davidson, Donaldson, Carlson, Ferguson, Hanson, Harrison, Jefferson, Larson, Martinson, Olofson, Patterson, Robinson, Stephenson, Walterson, Wilson — were all just sons named after their father's first name. Humans are so fucking unoriginal it’s stunning. Conformity all the way down. Sheep following sheep following sheep following sheep. Ape aping ape aping ape aping ape.
This water filtration system has very good filtration and it's small enough to sit on an apartment countertop. This system is good if you don't own your own house and can't install a permanent under-the-counter system. If you own your place, I recommend installing this system instead. (aff link)

Note: This system doesn't remineralize the water, so you should supplement with minerals, like this.
