Bro Science Manifesto
Hot male conspirituality seeks credentials
Here’s little manifesto I penned for the end of Conspirituality Podcast Episode 29: Bro Science with Dr. Dan Wilson. You can listen to the show and visit our site and socials to see how Derek, Julian and I flesh out the politics and techniques of Bro Science, looking at influencers like BBQAnon, Tim Kennedy and JP Sears, Del Bigtree, Jordan Bowditch, Aubrey Marcus, Sayer Ji and Michael Sandler, and many others.
The basic definition of Bro Science is:
Unevidenced scientific or medical claims made by unqualified but charismatic male-identified influencers in support of marketing their alt-health products and/or pushing health-related conspiracy theories that denigrate public health.
Bro Science is junk science spewed by men who believe their charisma is a substitute for training.
It brags, mocks, overreaches. It’s self-serving and self-interested. It can carry hints of toxic masculinity: entitlement, unearned confidence, no qualms about taking up space. It represses or hides emotion behind humour, irony, grandiosity, or muscle mass. It preaches individualism and self-sufficiency from the lonely triumph of Bro.
