Science has become in itself its own religion. Many forget that it’s purpose is to measure and document physical reality. There are several ideas dubbed as “pseudoscience” that can not be proven or disproven. Yes, I know that’s a sketchy premise, and I don’t condemn those who don’t believe me when I speak of what I’ve experienced over the years. I don’t believe doctors promoting herbal supplements. But to say Extraterrestrials and extrasensory phenomena are not possible, i must disagree. I’ve seen extrasensory at work.

I used to work in a public library. Whatever book Oprah recommended for her book club, it immediately became a best seller and we would have huge hold lists for that title. I thought it was interesting how many people said they disliked her book choices, and had never enjoyed one of her picks, but they would invariably want to read whatever she chose. When asked why they continued to read her choices, they basically all said because she was Oprah and therefore her choices must be good. So instead of reading something enjoyable they would suffer through books they didn’t like. Personality cults are fascinating!

As a medical instructor I was constantly having to instruct my students not to use information obtained from Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Oprah, or any others promoted TV personality. I spent hours presenting corrective information. Most of the information my students brought to my attention was not only dangerous but medically unfounded. It is frightening to think some may put these unfounded aspects to use.

@@mariawoo843 - Oh my Gosh!! I couldn’t believe what I was reading when I read your comment that Dr. Phil said we had already been thru COV - 1 to 18!!!! I’m in shock, actually! Now, I’ve never watched his show, but you can’t not know these people who pop up everywhere. In fact, just yesterday I was watching the RU-vid Channel “The Behavior Panel” (the four men who are body language experts and that’s their field). They pick a person which is usually a criminal or a famous person who has recently been in news over some controversial issue and they read their body language. Anyway, they had Dr. Phil on their panel because of a person he had himself interviewed. So, the 5 of them discussed this man’s body language. I’ve never been able to pinpoint and say why I had no interest to ever watch his show. Of course, over the decades, you can’t help from running into them while channel surfing or being online. So, I have seen like one-minute spots of his show and left. Not once did his personality or interview style once grab me to keep me viewing. I’ve always seen him as kinda creepy with his one-look face that never changes. But, I’ve never judged him in any other way because I know you can’t fairly do that without any information at all. I seriously never saw him for more than a minute and maybe that happened 5 times or less over the past decades. I only watched Oprah probably 10 times over the decades. It’s not just those two. I do not like that kind of show anyway. I think I may have seen Ellen maybe 3 times. I think I’ve channel-surfed and when I’d see an extraordinary child doing something really talented, that could easily keep me. BUT, my question is, “Just HOW is it possible for people to put stock in ANYTHING he now says since he said that about COVID-19?!! I mean, when I watched him yesterday on Behavior Panel, I had no idea!! But, if I had, I would’ve never watched it because I would’ve known what a half-wit he is! Ewww! LOL! Thanks for sharing that. Omg, people never cease to amaze me in their psycho ways, narcissism, fraudsters, etc. So, Dr. Grande did a good program here exposing her for the fraudsters she has endorsed. I mean, I’ve never seen these people like Dr. Oz. I truly have zero interest in those shows. I actually don’t watch much TV. I stream most everything I watch. There’s just too much good streaming content (like some most excellent documentaries) to miss to go watch those shows. When Oprah was on, I had a business I was running. And kids! I just hardly watched TV. When Dr. Grande was rattling off the LONG LIST of crap that Oprah used to peddle, like new age stuff, fraudsters, magic, mystics, etc it blew my mind! No wonder we have so many generations of stupid people. Yes, I’m actually saying I’m not stupid. LOL! Like you aren’t or you wouldn’t have bothered to bring up what Dr. Phil said. OMG! I was thinking of going to search for that video to hear him say it, but I’m not sure I can handle it. Knowing that MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people watched him and Oprah every day and didn’t even KNOW when they were being bullshitted to??!! They don’t have that inner voice to know it when they hear it? I’m having a rant. I’ll let you go. Thx for sharing, tho. 👍🏼

I experienced a different "Oprah Effect" when I was living and working in Santa Barbara, CA. I was very diligently saving money for a down payment on a house (one that would need lots of renovation, but hey, it was Santa Barbara). I was almost there when Oprah came to Montecito (a posh community in the hills of SB) and purchased a huge property with cash. This sent ALL the real estate prices through the roof and made purchasing a home in SB virtually unattainable for most academics like myself. Needless to say everytime I saw her name, I had a very negative visceral reaction.

James Frey claimed that this book was his memoir of addiction and recovery. However, some people who knew him having read his book told that he lied. Oprah got angry, invited him on her show and confronted him. However, she would not do it to Meghan and Harry, they are her golden geese...

James Frey’s book is a great one and is a memoir. He did include some very minor changes like the outcome of somebody’s death and a couple of name changes to protect them. Oprah actually created a huge frenzy over some thing that did not need to be a frenzy and totally ruined him. Oprah autobiography. It is stated that she apologized to James Frey for the public shame and harm. She caused him over nothing. Let’s hope he never started drinking again over it.

Well done. I’m a clinician. I grew up in poverty and experienced a variety of adversities. As such, I’ve found Oprah to be an inspiring, if not fascinating, person given the life she’s built for herself despite significant obstacles. And, over recent years I’ve questioned some of the people she promotes. Recently, she co-wrote a book with Dr. Bruce Perry on adverse childhood experiences and released a a docuseries on Appletv called The Me You Can’t See. I’ve only started to read the book, but I watched the docuseries. What I found most interesting is her perspective on perseverance which was accidentally revealed in one of the vignettes about a young woman she was attempting to ‘help’. Oprah struggled to understand the neurobiological nuances of how trauma affects people, largely because she’s so profoundly resilient and successful. In light of that, it makes sense why her career has been filled with elevating people and practices that have mass appeal (like magical problem solving) versus science or evidenced based practices. I won’t, however, fault her for appealing to society’s preference for easy solutions, a desire for sensational storytelling or fame by association. It’s a two way street. 😊

Oprah had a traumatic childhood and has never really recovered. She is constantly looking for a savior to rescue her. When she "sees" people as having magical skills she is perhaps expressing her hope that her savior is among them. Her healing is onesided and so, misleading, as are her recommended gurus. Thanks for your intelligent discussion of who and what Opray really is to herself and to us.

When a person's unfettered narcissistic qualities are promoted, validated, and even revered on a grand scale it doesn't take too long for these narcissistic qualities to manifest themselves into a form of megalomania. In the same way that power is attractive, self-belief can morph into self-delusion and become counter-productive. When we measure success solely by levels of financial attainment and popularity it can be difficult to maintain any level of objectivity and level-headedness. If everybody tells you that you are some kind of god or godess, and your bank balance starts to reflect this hyper-inflated image, then you are prone to start believing in your own infallibility.

The only Oprah that people who do not receive American television ( ie most of the world) are aware of, is an actress they may have seen in a film "The Colour Purple". Like all television personalities in every country, famous nationally, but not internationally. Since the invention of RU-vid however, the global viewer is exposed to more. One dated clip shows Oprah and the Louis Vuitton handbag(purse) in Rome story. The bottom line was, the shop assistant, hired and paid a salary to sell a franchised French product, decides to actually miss out on a lucrative sale of an insanely overpriced bag "..because she is black"! Louis Vuitton Rome vehemently denies any such episode. A handbag incident actually did take place with Oprah in Zurich where again she claims the assistant refused to sell her a bag for racist reasons. Anyone familiar with these up-market boutiques knows how absurd such a conjecture could be. The assistants have a sixth sense for money and wealthy clientele, but their knowledge of the English language is scholastic at best. Two things are obvious: Oprah's annoyance at not being recognised and revered, no will or effort to overcome the language barrier. It seems to me the one story was milked and spun off the other, trying to imply Europe is racist.(?) American style racism simply cannot be projected onto sophisticated Europe, light years ahead on the topic of integration. Until this story is cleared up, I detect a strong odour of BS.

Thanks for taking about this. I’m a therapist who deals with trauma and I’ve noticed that some traumatized people use new age and various healing modalities as a way to keep the trauma repressed - a means to feel like they’re healing their traumatic memories without really integrating the pain of the memories. So the pursuit of these healing modalities becomes an unconscious deflection of the pain. They all tend to have “magical thinking” in operation from childhood - the willingness to believe in the power of their own positive (repressive) thought defense. I guess many people in our culture are willingly deceived by these modalities, which is easy because they do offer temporary relief and can be helpful in the healing of trauma as grounding tools - but not the end goal

I attended an event held by my alma mater. The speakers were two South African women who spoke about growing up in South Africa and apartheid. At the end of their talk there was time for a Q&A. I don’t remember the question one student asked, but their response has stuck with me all these years. The women spoke about how Oprah had given a large sum of money to create a prestigious school for girls in South Africa. They acknowledged the nice gesture, but they also said, “Oprah never asked us what we needed and where we believed the money was best served. She made the decision. If we had the chance to speak with her how we could best use that generous amount of money, we would have wanted to use it to improve the schools that already exist. We could provide a better education for many more girls and boys in our country.” The women acknowledged the gift and were grateful for it, but there is something disturbing about waltzing into a foreign country, deciding what’s best for them. It feels infantilizing when Oprah decided for South Africans what is best for them.

@citizenoftheearth6 Most places are corrupt. If you have a problem with these two South African women or their critique of Oraph's influence in their home country, then go take it up with them. Westerners, almost always white Westerners, like voluntourism trips. They do some small amount of work, take selfies of themselves with children from the country they're visiting, and upload the photos for social media likes and validation. The "White savior" mentality involves barging into someone's country and telling them how they will fix the country's problems without asking any local folks what they need or the best ways to make things run smoothly in their own culture and environment. Folks with White savior complex encourage voluntourism, and, as Westerners do, push Western and/or Christian ideals onto these folks they claim they're helping. The idea that anyone deserves to be absurdly rich and that they can walk into a country, telling them what they need is, again, infantilizing as well as pressing capitalism on the people of that country whether they like it or not. We could go into an entirely different direction about the leeches and blood money of capitalism, but hopefully, this is enough for you to understand that it was the people of South Africa themselves who wanted to be consulted on how to best use money for children and education in their own country.

That said, you can't point to any other woman who has done as much positive for people as she has. If Oprah wants to do pseudoscience, that's her choice. People don't have to listen if they don't want to. People also have to take responsibility for what they choose to believe! To put everything on Oprah isn't fair! What you've forgotten: science often fails people! When this is happens, people look for alternative cures including pseudoscience, prayer and quack cures.

Love your videos and this one is no exception! I have an idea since you mentioned supernatural and psychics lately, would you be willing to do an analysis on Dolores Canon and her alleged abilities to hypnotize her clients and bring them back to their past lives? She made many claims about aliens, life after death and other such topics. It would make for a very interesting episode to hear your thoughts on her and her techniques.

I would appreciate greatly your thoughts on Conversion Therapy in general. This practice is outlawed in some states, at least for minors.

She had the class read it and then write a letter to themselves to be opened when they were 21 about how reading The Secret changed their lives. My son wrote "dear future me, I hope you still think this is stupid." When he turned 21, he opened the letter to himself, read it, and declared, "yes, younger self, I still do."

Tolle doesn't say thinking is bad. He says being consumed by random thoughts, anxiety, strong feelings, etc. is a detriment to living in the moment. There is a time for purposeful thinking. It is necessary. But having your head stuffed with racing thoughts is not thinking. That's what he teaches.

Your background looks amazing doc! If I may suggest though as a life long cactus 🌵 & succulent freak, these plants need high light or bright indirect 🌞. Looks a bit dark or too far from windows in that location. One way to work this..is to place them in a bright location, & then rotate all or some into your background for short periods, like around Time of shooting. They will require more water if moved into high light. Also those teeny tiny potted ones do better if transplanted to a bit larger pot i have found. Mine like clay pot with drain hole. Water once a month once in a bigger pot. Hope this helps🥰💙
