  1. Lucky Girl Syndrome to TarotTok: Is TikTok’s Algorithm Leading us into Spiritual Psychosis?

    VOR 2 TAGEN

    Lucky Girl Syndrome to TarotTok: Is TikTok’s Algorithm Leading us into Spiritual Psychosis?

    This is a rerun episode from 2024, where we explore the spiritual-adjacent corners of TikTok like manifestation-tok, tarot-tok, psychic-tok, and astrology-tok, and how this content can lead users down a harmful pipeline. We look at how young people, Gen Z in particular, are turning to new-age spirituality to make sense of the world and how the TikTok algorithm contributes to increasingly extreme beliefs in this area. We also share case studies of users who have devolved into "spiritual psychosis" (an unofficial term) after becoming obsessed with this side of TikTok.  Join our Patreon here!!! ⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/CentennialWorld⁠  Please consider buying us a coffee or subscribing to a membership to help keep Centennial World's weekly podcasts going!
