Whenever I listen to a podcast about a cult leader, influencer, celebrity pundit, or similar, I take a beat & imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes, with everyone hanging on my every word, and I just... can't. Sure, I'll monologue on a BookTube if I'm solo, but just... *how* do these people keep on talking and talking in group settings when they could be cultivating space for collaborative chats and building a richer dialogue among all present instead?
@MLClark given the ultimate fate of most cult leaders, that's probablyfor the best. You'll live a lot longer!
All Flavor Aid, no danger!
