The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it's a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!

what if these internet based solipsistic mushroom cults begin to refine themselves until eventually someone creates internet based monotheistic islam
