HARPER ONE
A lot of you are really playing yourselves with Marianne Williamson and letting yourselves be reduced to single issues...wow she talked about reparations...what about every other stupid thing that came out of her mouth?
> "If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days,"

> The answer to depression is more scientific research only if you think of it simply in biomedical terms. The medicalization of depression is a creation of the medical industry. For millennia depression was seen as a spiritual disease, and for many of us it still is.

>Then there are the examples that really do get the science wrong—situations where Williamson just has a strong feeling that things aren’t as the scientific community sees them. She lists genetically modified organisms as a source of corruption in our food system, which seems to stem from a distrust of large companies. But scientists contend that GMOs are perfectly safe. In her 2010 book, A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight, she writes that fat “is a repository of twisted, distorted thoughts and feelings that didn’t have anywhere else to go.” Fat and how much one has are actually, in large part, just a feature of one’s body, in the same way that height is, coupled only to some extent with what one eats and how one works out. She’s suggested that antidepressants and even research into the biological factors of depression exist just because of the industry. In Tears to Triumph: Spiritual Healing for the Modern Plagues of Anxiety and Depression, she writes about the “practical application of love and forgiveness as medicine for the soul”; yes, exactly what you’d expect from a self-help author. But she also explains how she’d been diagnosed with clinical depression and refuses to treat it with any kind of medicine, as if that’s the goal to which everyone should aspire.
But I mean she talked about flint and reparations, which is clearly more important than the fact that she might be nuts.
