We’ve been obsessed with the two recent documentary series on the NXIVM cult, largely because its members keep referring to the cult’s leader as a “philosopher”, which feels a little weird to us. So we decided to have our in-house philosophy Ph.D consider some of the ideas espoused by the cult’s leader, Keith Raniere, to see if there is any truth hidden beneath the madness. We hope you enjoy our first episode of "A Philosopher Reacts"!
