If one is holding to the belief that a certain political stance means people are somehow deficient, it just shows that one is vulnerable to propaganda which dehumanizes and blames a group.
Don't hate the person. Call out the stupid.
Actually, don't hate. It makes you stupid. (Again, this is orthogonal to politics!)
I once read an inspiring post from a european user who explained why these companies generally succeed. Namely, that formal treatment and healthcare for the underlying condition targeted by the "wellness" product is prohibitively expensive for American customers, and so snakeoil thrives in the absence of legitimate medical science. you could literally bankrupt these companies in less than a fortnight with single paye…

Idiocracy[1], we are living it.
I was surprised to see how much money Infowars was making shown in the court documents. "Let us make our prime target market idiots" seems to be a profitable path.

Huberman is almost as bad which is funny to me because he's regarded as an authority. Worst is the completely useless powder called Athletic Greens that he pushes left and right. There must _really_ be big bucks in supplements and lifestyle products like this, as it's coming just as much from very learned Harvard PhD's as Alex Jones. Currently it's bro science connected to life extension, cold baths, red and blue lig…
