Core Concepts
Creators who challenge the status quo and empower people with evidence-based information face the risk of being targeted and cancelled by powerful vested interests.
Abstract
The content discusses the attempted cancellation of Andrew Huberman, a prominent health and wellness influencer. Huberman's ideas and protocols for natural and behavioral health changes have made him a superstar in the industry, but have also made him enemies in powerful places, particularly the pharmaceutical industry.
The author argues that this is a risk faced by every creator, especially those who build a large audience across multiple platforms. When creators start to gain influence, they become targets for those who aim to take them down or get as close to them as possible. This makes it difficult for creators to trust others and puts them at risk of being cancelled or discredited.
The author emphasizes that empowering people with evidence-based information and free resources is not in the interest of big businesses like the pharmaceutical industry, as it goes against their profit-driven business models. The author suggests that this is not a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, but a real threat that creators need to be aware of.
Quotes
"Empowering people with evidence-based protocols, information and free resources is not in the interest of Big Pharma's business model. They need to keep you dumb and unhealthy."
"You become a target people aim for. Just the use of your name and image becomes clickable. The incentives become to take you down or to get as close as possible to you. Either way, it becomes hard to trust others."
