  • Summary

  • In a conversation with Stella O'Malley, founder and director of Genspect, Andrew Gold @andrewgoldheretics explores why people—even very intelligent ones—are drawn to cult-like beliefs. He shares stories from his investigative work, including his study of exorcisms in Argentina, and connects these experiences to how modern groups can sometimes take on cult-like behaviors. He discusses how social pressures and rituals influence why people stay in these groups, even when it might be harmful. Through his work with former cult members, Andrew explains the challenges of leaving these intense belief systems and the importance of questioning groupthink in our lives. Andrew Gold is a British journalist, author, and YouTuber known for his investigative work on cults and extreme ideologies.
