Thanks Sandman. QuoteSandman"you subscribe to every person that are actively placing videos and make sure you rate and favorite every video" I'm guessing that the method to the madness here is that every little action on the internet might bring more and more recruits.

Just when you thought Desteni couldn't get anymore repulsive, something else these comes along. I had heard a few rumors that Desteni was gearing up to become more political. Also, it has been noted here by others how Desteni sells extensive and costly re-education courses along with other products such as the vocabulary purifier. However, I think the money generation schemes are all to be d

QuoteDocObviously Mr. Poolman is abusing technical words over and over again by removing the originally meaning of the expressions. A good example is “Structural Resonance” a course, bookable for money at Desteni.com. To add a little more to what you're saying here, much of the Destenispeak seems something like Technobabble. Star Trek and other science fiction movies employ technobabble

Thanks Anticult and for the additional article on the origin of gold. When I was researching the subject, I went to the forums at Astronomy.com to find out how the existence of gold can be shown in other parts of the universe. Thankfully, many there know their stuff especially one known as chipdatajeffB who pointed me in the right direction. It is very interesting how when I have talked t

I have extensively gone over Desteni's History of Mankind series. While I have not gone over every single episode, I have tried to focus on Desteni's story of how we got here which is detailed primarily in their early episodes. While my aim is to disprove Desteni's backstory, a researcher or those interested might find my article informative. For those who wish to know more about i

QuoteDarryl ThomasWant to mention one thing here: While "ThomDarc" and "Sandman" are allowed to snipe and take potshots from behind anonymous screen names, I prefer to make my statements under the authority of my own legal name. Yeah, but we are not the ones selling snake oil. You are. It only makes sense that you try and keep a straight face while trying to market your prod

QuoteStoicThe self-forgiveness schtick is something that has been bothering me. The demand for forgiveness from others has always struck me as somewhat creepy, a get-out-of-jail free card, more about making the transgressor feel better (and free to continue transgressing) than any true wish to make amends to someone who has been wronged. In my view a transgressive action, a wrong deed, cannot be

QuoteSandmanSTEP FOUR: run these new recruits through bizarre and disorienting excercises (see any testimonial regarding life on the farm posted on the net... note the casual references to sex between group members). As for WHY a middle aged man would want to surround himself with confused teenage girls who hang on his every pronouncement... we can only speculate. The US had a very public v

Hi, I'm new here. I just wanted to add in about what I've found about Desteni. A little while ago I bumped into Desteni Productions on youtube. I watched one of their videos which was more annoying than not. However, I decided to look at a few more and boy was I in for a surprise. After chatting with several members of Desteni on some of the youtube comments page, I was banned. I was
