Really Thom? Deepak Chopra?

[alp227]

Thom Hartmann has excellent insight on many political and historical topics and even science, but I had to turn off the show as he had on that quack DEEPAK CHOPRA and then let a caller babble on about how alternative medicine treated her after a car crash that supposedly "killed" her.

At least Nicole Sandler is on for Randi Rhodes right now.

1. Oooh...you're gonna get it...

It's inevitable, you know.

[rufus dog]

2. Too funny

I was leaving the Gym and caught the segment immediately after Chopra left, when he mentioned Chopra was on my thought was the same as yours....REALLY?

3. Yabbut there's a lot of money to be made

in the charlatan business. Yes, indeed.

4. People are always looking for an easy solution

I love the rationalwiki explanation of him. Just rub enough 'woo' and all is well

11. I watched a few minutes

of an old interview Oprah did with Deepak from 93.

Try as I might, I couldn't figure out what the hell he was talking about and he is a very fast talker

9. I wonder how many times they use the word "woo" over at rationalwiki?

10. I'm becoming more convinced

that the new age movement is a form of capitalist/corporatist social engineering for the segment of the population that would otherwise have accepted fundamentalist christianity. If you dig down past all the woo and the galactic hierarchies and the 2012 ascension, you get some of the same basic memes that the right wing fundies believe.

12. As much as I love Thom, he puts way too much stock in woo

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, for one.

Thing about Deepak is that he never tells any lies or mistruths - everything he says makes absolutely 0 sense.

It's not lying when it's babbling

13. Chopra is a joke and a fraud..nt
