Welcome back for Season 2, friends! In this episode, we’re diving into spirituality. Does the word spirituality refer to just one thing, or does it mean anything at all? And are you among the growing number of people identifying as “spiritual, but not religious”?
Before we give you the tl;dr of Jeremy Carrette and Richard King’s Selling Spirituality: The Silent Takeover of Religion, we discuss Big Zodiac and the increasing profitability of astrology apps and products. Who knew venture capitalists were investing in apps like Co-star?!
Iman shares why she finds the phrase “spiritual but not religious” confusing and ick-inducing, while Kohar talks about what truly makes someone a real spiritual baddie (and it’s not just their TikTok feed). We explore the relationship between modern spirituality and capitalism, and the distinction between capitalist spirituality and an anti-capitalist / revolutionary one, as defined by Carrette, King, and the traditions we come from.
As always, we close out with our half-baked thoughts—the segment where we share ideas that we haven't fully fleshed out but stand fully behind. You’ll just have to listen to the episode to hear those.
