Get wise to the many scams and grifts in the wellness influencer space.
Another prime example of unconscious survival.
At this point you should be wondering, What business isn't a scam these days?
You should study how the most mainstream and popular self-help influencers operate. Pay attention to how much their work is about power, fame, and money rather than truth-seeking. Mainstream self-help deceives and exploits hundreds of millions of people. You often hear about the dangers of niche cults, but what about the dangers of the most mainstream influencers and movements? They become cult-like and conformist too. You cannot become as successful, popular, and powerful as Oprah or Tony Robbins without corruption. As a self-help or spiritual teacher, you have to choose between quality vs popularity and power. You cannot have both. Those who make hundreds of millions of dollars off self-help or spirituality — you see the choice they made. This tells you exactly who they are, what they value. You can't make hundreds of millions of dollars in this industry just being Good.
Latest example of conformist stupidity. It's astonishing how powerful conformity is.
Young people don't have enough wisdom to understand that this is wrong:
This is a mental disorder. This is a disorder of self-love.
You have to love yourself however you look. There's no other healthy option.
One of the beautiful things about animals vs humans is that at least animals don't worry about their physical appearance. Emulate animals in this regard, not humans. The less you care about your physical appearance the stronger you are. Counter-intuitive, eh? Worrying about your physical appearance makes you fragile and takes focus away from being Good.
The insidious thing about this kind of conformity is that the people doing it honestly believe they are non-conformist. That's how self-deceptive conformity is. Trying to maximize how others see you is conformity. True non-conformity here would be not caring how others see you at all.
This is what I mean by unconscious survival.
Obsessing over your physical appearance isn't beautiful, it's ugly. Self-love is beautiful. That's how you know it's right.
Note: I am not saying looks don't matter. Looks matter a lot. The question is, why do you care that they matter?
Note: Here's a good Rolling Stone article on Clavicular's Looks-Maxxing Course
Note: This is a perfect example of toxic Stage Orange.
I have two important timestamps for you to watch here.

This exactly the problem with all intelligence agencies. Every notion of an intelligence agency is a moral cancer. Intelligence agencies are fundamentally a corrupt structure. They cannot exist in a health society. Lying as standard operating procedure cannot exist in a health society! This is madness. There is no such thing as "being the good guys". As soon as you lie are you the bad guys. You can't be the good guys while lying, stealing, cheating, and killing. It's astonishing that no one at the CIA understands this, not even John Kiriakou!
The good guys are those who don't lie, not those who lie for good. This is such an obvious trap yet they got PhDs there who don't understand it.

This is exactly what's happening to Israel after Oct 7th. It's the same corruption. This is how evil is created. Again, it is astonishing that no one there understands something so simple and basic. Any time you are lying while "being the good guys" you are doing evil.
This issue needs to be part of a serious wide public discussion. Democracy is being corrupted and undermined from within. This is the real issue, not Jordan Peterson's culture wars. We need a serious plan for how to make government truthful. That is the #1 issue.
Soft White Underbelly is a goldmine of psychology lessons.
You don't learn psychology by reading textbooks, you learn it by observing unconscious behavior. If you watch all the interviews on Soft White Underbelly you will learn more psychology than a psych degree.
This guy really wised up:
This girl is still kidding herself:
