  • I did a speech class on the Aum Shinrikyo cult years ago as I found their activities both fascinating and chilling. I've lived in the Tokyo area for the past seven years and always felt safe riding the subways. I couldn't imagine the pain and fear of the sarin gas attacks on that terrible day.

  • Love this video! You two delved into incredible detail of the founder and the associated cult. I recommend reading Haruki Murakami’s book “Underground”, which demonstrates a variety of perspectives from ordinary folk to poignant people of power related to the cult. Though it can get very visceral, just reading this would help many understand how severe the gas attack was back in the day.

  • This is so awful, I worry that Asahara might have also used the socital idea that you need to conform with what is normal in his social circle. Though, based on what happens in other cults, it seems the "norms" around cult leaders is something most of them try to push on their followers. Yikes. Also, for the history buffs in here... It was due to the Aum Shinrikyo attack on the Tokyo Subway, a major transportation infratstructure, that multiple world governments had to consider that nonstate actors could get their hands on WMDs and harm a great number of people and critical infratstructures!

    • Merle and Joyce will have to speak for themselves on this issue (if they wish), but I understand your intended point. Issues of personal expression, respect for the issues being covered, and how to tastefully address a person's attractiveness are not simple in this day and age, and they are often wildly at odds with each other. Thus changes are clearly being made as the show evolves.
