Despite the leader being a grifter it sounds like most of the Koreshan community were less gullible/stubborn individuals and more so individuals that saw the Koreshan community as an escape from whatever life they had prior (May it be a loveless marriage, abusive marriage, escaping persecution, or any other valid reason)

@elihuan4340

Isn’t that the clientele of most cults and scams? From my understanding, Most of the people who fall for scams and such aren’t idiots, but rather vulnerable people who are desperate for an alternative. Think of those with incurable diseases who seek out alternative medicine for even the hope of a chance, or those in severe debt who fall prey to get rich quick schemes. The women who sought the Koreshan Community did so because they were desperate to escape their horrible circumstances yes, but joining the community also entailed assimilating its values and beliefs. By the end, I’d wager many were true believers, despite their original motives.

I can only imagine how satisfying it must've been to be surrounded by so many other women working towards common goals and the appearance of independence. And to maintain their own community and businesses, too... It reminds me a lot of the Peoples Temple.

For me, existence can't get big enough. It might not be much of a surprise that my favorite stories are those set on incomprehensibly large scales, and still hunger for bigger. Perhaps I'm weird. Maybe I'm not as comfortable with such tremendous scale as I think. Whatever it is, I am tremendously glad to have it. Suddenly, so many problems feel surmountable, so many quarrels trivial, and yet I can take it all in.

That's because you're a psuedointellectual.

The bit on people who had faith healing more readily is actually pretty interesting ground. And by faith, I don't mean a specific religious faith as I'm sure he intended, but more of a motivation for continuing. Because we do know that a big difference maker with critically wounded or ill people is what happens when they completely lose the will to live. How many times has a spouse died shortly after their partner? In may ways having faith in something, often a duty to family, is able to preserve that perseverance. Speaking of soldiers in the civil war: it very well could have been that the belief that what they were doing was "gods work" did in fact recover more readily than those whose will to exist had been trampled by war. The matter of motivation is much different when all you see ahead is a pointless death vs believing that the suffering is necessary in some way.

Love this topic! Good video!

The closing monologue for this episode was phenomenal.

Teed’s story is similar to that of Samuel Burley Rowbotham aka Dr Samuel Burley (or Burleigh) aka Parallax. He started as manager of an Owenite Community in England then sold patent medicines and other cures. He co founded Zetetic Astronomy and he was a flat earther. He had quite a few followers, some of them wealthy women. No one expected him to be resurrected, though.

I think a lot of the success of cults, and the appeal they have for otherwise rational people, comes from an existential boredom; the desire to be in the vanguard on the cusp of something heretofore undiscovered. They want to escape the dread of insignificance.

I live about a 15 minute drive away from the Koreshan State Park in Estero, FL. Quite a few buildings still stand today, and there’s a beautiful Victorian style bridge that connects the community to the Estero River often used by locals and tourists for kayaking. People can camp there and visit the hall and shops still standing, and see the concave earth model that Cyrus used. The local schools use it for field trips and arts go there for the scenery. I highly recommend visiting if ever in the area. There’s even lore regarding this cult that persists to this day.

22:47 Actually, both you and Koresh are wrong. 🤣Although he Earth is round, - it is not a "sphere". The Earth is an ellipsoid. It is squished at the poles owing to its rotation, which is why another name for the shape of rotating planets is "rotational ellipsoid". The curious detail here is that we didn't know this to be the case with absolute certainty until 1911 journey of the "Nautilus", - the first submarine to travel under the Arctic ice which measured gravitational anomalies in the ocean. As an addition to earlier measurements taken on dry land by other individuals, using the same pendulum experiment - this finally painted a convincing picture that Earth isn't a "sphere" but rather an ellipsoid.

We actually do live inside the earth if you attribute the atmosphere to be a part of the earth. You could argue that it's no different than that fish live in the water. The atmosphere is technically also a fluid.

Sapient observations there at the end

6:14 NOOOOOOO you killed him!!!

There is this Australian youtuber years ago, his name's Steven Christ. He had the same ideas as Teed and made up his own "cult" with him as the messiah, calling himself "Lord Steven Christ". He also believed in this concave Earth, believed in the Rectilineator experiment. His version of the concave world is slightly different than Teed's Koreshan cosmogony, where the Sun and Move are instead connected to a gigantic heavenly octahedron at the center of the universe, orbiting around it closer to this "shell" as if they were headlamps. He believed that stars were actually created through sound in this cosmic ocean above, inside one of the spheres, through a process known as sonoluminescence. He believed that glass shards found in Lybia were not tektite from meteor impacts but rather bits of the glass sphere 100km above us that broke during the Flood. He believed himself to be the return of Christ, a new messiah, he made a seal for himself with intricate symbolism. His videos are sometimes laced with a layer of ASMR that just lulls you as he explains his crazy world to you. He made surprisingly good and really well thought 3D animated models of this concave world. I am not sure where he is now, apparently he was arrested for some shit, I mean people like him are destined (like Teed) to get into brawls or some other illegal activity and end up facing the justice system. His followers still believe he would return, be released from jail, but so far we know nothing of his whereabouts as far as I'm concerned. As a kid, while I didn't believe in his ideas thankfully, I still found them fascinating, it's such a novel way of "worlbuilding" a very interesting take on the universe and the way he showed it is just astounding... dangerously astounding... Search up "Lord Steven Christ" or his most popular video that introduced me to him: "Welcome to the Real World". He definitely followed in Teed's footsteps, albeit not going into this whole immortality thing, he predicted the end of the world and that he would save those who follow him: an eclipse would have occured above Australia but instead of moving it stayed there, slowly scorching the rest of the world while in the Moon's shadow, at Uluru rock, a "space" elevator would have been built to bring humans to the firmament and recreate civilization. I think the date he predicted was in 2017 so obviously that never happened.

This reminds me a lot of a book from around the 50s my grandpa found secondhand. It was called ‘the hollow earth’ and it seemed to make a genuine argument that the earth was actually hollow and that the poles had deep holes in them where you could enter the inner earth, which was always warm and had giant fertile crops, as well as a giant race of people. Apparently this had all been reported by a pilot who flew into the core. It was nonsense, obviously, but it was strange to see how earnestly this was presented as scientific fact. I wonder if it was associated with this guy at all.
