Hello everyone,
We hope you are enjoying your long weekend either immersed in social and familial life or in replenishing rest and solitude before the demands of quotidian life take over.
On this holiday, we wanted to first thank you for your support and unwavering commitment to the truth. After all, that is what has lead you to question and shatter the societal “consensus,” galvanizing you to seek out platforms such as ours. The Illusion of Consensus publication has performed well in its first four months, but we are only getting started.
This fall, we plan to increase our content output and expand the scope of our publication. As the Biden administration and governments around the world begin to re-introduce Covid restrictions and/or new vaccine booster campaigns, we want to arm you with the correct information to hold your ground and resist tyrannical control and harmful public health decrees.
Our lead co-founder Dr. Jay Bhattacharya will have much to offer on this front with informative articles and podcasts.
Our lead journalist Rav Arora will be expanding this publication to cover mental health topics such as the over-diagnosis of ADHD, dangers of SSRIs, and new frontiers of psychedelic medicine. Our society is increasingly suffering from mental illness — despite (often) adequate resources and opportunities — and the mainstream psychiatric clinical establishment does not have the solutions to our problems. To help grow this new beat on Illusion of Consensus, a handful of new contributors will be joining in the holistic mental health space.
We look forward to bringing you on this voyage towards healing and synergizing our minds, bodies, and spirits.
One final note: we have been slow over the summer to provide all the perks and exclusive benefits to paid subscribers (Rav and Jay have both been travelling and going on vacation!), but they will be swiftly available in the coming days and weeks. We plan on creating a robust structure and regimen for The Illusion of Consensus to help you better connect with us and the paradigm-shifting content we provide. This means regular group video calls, exclusive Q+A podcasts, and new articles will be provided to paid subscribers.
A mail-out for our loyal founding members will also be sent shortly. Founding members receive personal contact with Rav/Jay in addition to all the paid subscriber features.
As a way of giving back and giving you an opportunity to help support us as we expand and grow our platform, we are offering a limited-time labor day sale. All paid subscriptions are 15% off and our founding member option has dropped from $200 to $95.
Support us now:
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days!

This has the chance to be one of the best stacks out there. I will, however, continue to beg. Many of us are visual learners. We lack aural learning skills. Or we are hard of hearing. Or we do not have 200 hours per day to listen to podcasts. Or all of the above. We feel gypped when a great-looking podcast is out there and we know we will miss its content.
Many other sites have been through this. We have all discovered that autotranscribers are cheap/free and, while perfect, are good enough to render podcasts into an intelligible readable form. Some sites make the podcasts free but only provide the transcripts to paid subscribers. I pay for all of them if they look interesting.
So I am begging on my and others' behaves... Please post contemporaneous transcriptions of audio content. We will not be upset if they are not perfect. And we will be forever grateful
Many thanks.
Rav & Jay..... I greatly appreciate your work..... reading your articles, listening to your audio podcasts and watching your video podcasts. You always raise important ideas to think about. - Best regards, Marcy
