In Today’s episode – what is a Charismatic Connection- we are going to explore the likely hood that either one of us would join a cult just to feel seen, understood, safe andsimply to be a part of something bigger then ourselves?

Don’t worry, this isn’t a conspiracy episode. We are not going to convince you to build a compound or drink the Kool-aid we are talking about something much more personal: the Human need for connection, certainty and purpose. So, would you be susceptible to a cult?

In the United Kingdom, the United States and in Japan, the prisons have transformed there typical jail cell into geriatric wards, as their population moves into the twilight of their lives, behind cold metal doors. The number of inmates aged 60 and over, has more than tripled since the early 2000’s. Rising to over 5000 in 2020.

Most the cases concerning our elderly in prison originates from the a basic human need to simply secure shelter, meals, some semblance of care and refuge from a perverse world that has forgotten them.

Is there a possible solution to such serious monopolization of manipulation- where the system profits from aging pain and punishment has become a substitute for care?

How do we dismantle a machine that cages the lonely instead of lifting them up?
