I'm glad you emphasised the cult aspect to Oster's article. I thought it on point, and your comment today brought a couple of ideas together in a different way for me. I'll digest on that.

The first thought is that she doesn't believe she is in the cult and it is difficult for non-culties to convince others the cult to know they have been cultifiied. Back to the old problem. I wonder if we can learn something from the very interesting Harvey Keitel and Kate Winslet film Holy Smoke? Don't know if the de-programming technics used are applicable, here. It is a fun and interesting movie, though, really asking near the end who is programmed and who isn't.

And it suggests that there is a long long way to go before we get back to 'normal'. Nope. For the next score or many more years, there isn't 'normal.' 'Normal' is what got is here. What we are being asked to do is enter into a continuous process of waking up to the degree to which we were likewise members of a cult. It is up to us to deprogram ourselves. That is the new 'normal'.

What was our cult? Obedience to being indifferent to the evil of the creep of Rockefeller medicine, allowing/embracing the industrialisation of food creation and animal husbandry, the acquiescence to MBA-itis creep into our economic structures, allowing wokedness to creep first into our education systems and out from like a metastasised cancer to the entire body politic, the delusion of banks as the heart of economic society.

This is a call for the spiritual awaking, for taking personal responsibility for the society we live in and to stop emptily blaming and complaining as if we don't have the power to create change. The new normal is to seize our own authority to create a healthy world without blindly deferring to an other's self-serving expertise that lacks even an iota of wisdom and/or social good.

If you want some humor, I did a spoof of Julian Lennon's "Much too late for Goodbyes" in the spirit of Dr. Demento spoofs.
