  • Speaking of Cults..."You'd Have to be a Moron to Join a Cult!" Debunked
    Apr 20 2024

    This week I decided to tackle one of the most common and objectively false comments I've seen over the years about cults: the idea you have to be a moron or otherwise intellectually challenged to join a cult. This is simply not true and in this episode, I break down exactly what cults do to take advantage of new recruits and members. Enjoy!
