Quarantine shaming and mask shaming are new concepts that have risen out of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, but cancel culture in general was shaming people before it was cool.
These social pressures have rapidly become issues we have to deal with every day, especially those of us who entertain alternative views. But it wasn’t always this way.
Harv sits down (virtually) with film-maker, musician and podcaster Keith “Legion” Snyder to talk about his take on this new cultural phenomenon as a self-proclaimed but non-conforming millennial.

Do you believe in synchronicity?
Today I have a discussion with Alex Snarski, an old friend whom I hadn’t seen for 13 years but happened to bump into while shopping for audio cables at the HiFi store where he works.
We started talking and found we had both developed interests in consciousness, meditation and Ayahuasca over the 13 years we had been apart.
The rub? It was Alex’s last day at the store. If I had gone a day later, we would never have crossed paths.
Here’s Alex’s story of heartbreak, awakening and synchronicity.

It seems everyone I respect and listen to meditates. They say, Harvey, have you tried mindfulness and meditation? It changed my life, it’ll change yours too, just give it a try…
ALRIGHT! I feel like I’ve been just fine without it, but here’s your meditation episode you heathens!
Let see if there’s anything to this ancient practice…

Jim Carrey has been in the media in the past few years seemingly wavering between depressed, confused and completely insane. But is he crazy, or is he undergoing a spiritual transformation that we just don’t yet understand?
Today is the first in a new series on Narratively Speaking where we examine public figures and the stories they tell.
