Because the Web is too fast, of course.

The Guardian asked “How did it all become so toxic?", where “all” refers to the fact that:

“Extreme right-wing views and the wellness community are not an obvious pairing, but ‘conspirituality’ is increasingly pervasive."

The core problem is that:

• People fail to realise that wellness and spirituality is ultimately an industry
• Mixing instantaneous social media with that industry, that existed well before the Internet, too often yelds “conspirituality”, that is “an ideology, but also a financial racket and [also] a way of being with other people”

To see both how this works in practice, making “many people trust their influencers more than their own doctor”, and what greatly accelerates it, read the Guardian’s piece side by side with the “meditation that keeps capitalism happy”. Then read my posts about slowness.
