I’ve been following Russell Brand’s career for years. I used to be a huge fan. I watched him as he eloquently expressed his atheism. I watched him get sober pivot embracing new age spiritualism destroying his comedy career and plummeting all the way down the culty conspiracy pipeline. Nobody should be surprised
What’s going on with him now? Can’t recall what pod I heard with him but it was a few years ago—may have been one with Sam Harris—but I have a strong memory the impression that I gleaned was that he is an arrogant fool, he had semblances of good ideas but no means to have come to the insights on his own
They're taking away his ticket. The question is why him, why now?
This is even less surprising than when Epstein killed himself
