Conspirituality Bonus Sample: Wellness Pornography as Abuse
This past week, Matthew defined “Wellness Pornography”, working from the ideas of C. Thi Nguyen and Bekka Williams in their essay “Moral Outrage Porn.” In this bonus episode, he asks:
- How do we measure the violence of wellness pornography when it becomes clear that it fuels vaccine hesitancy?
- When wellness pornographers directly indoctrinate people against public health, are they, like the sexual pornographers eviscerated by Andrea Dworkin, violating civil rights to security and safety?
- If we start to see the death concealed by wellness pornography, will we also see through the ads for pickup trucks to the ecocide they conceal? Will that help?
- What will we do with all of this rage?
