Quotes by Derek Beres (?)

“It’s a short trip between Steiner touting his pseudohistory book and Hitler coining the term Lügenpresse (“lying press,” or in today’s parlance, “fake news”) to deride any legitimate journalism that would push back against the Third Reich.”
― Derek Beres, Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat

“And contrary to what health conspiracists might imagine, critics and former NCCIH heads describe a reluctance at the agency to ever say that treatment had been shown not to work—even when that’s what the evidence showed.”

“Here’s what disaster spirituality doesn’t—perhaps can’t—do. It can’t come close to matching the human strength that can emerge within the lived experience of people who share a traumatized space, and the time it takes to recover.”
