That's a bad analogy because the CEO's predisposition is not manifested in her actions. If Person X performs Action A or claims to support Action A, but in reality Person X supports Action B(which might stand in direct contrast to Action A) or performs Action B, then we can say that Person X is being disingenuous.
In your example, if the vegan CEO is selling vegan patties and claiming that they are beef, then it's disingenuous.
I disagree, she was the least genuine out of them all. She essentially led a movement that she herself didn't believe in. She pretended to the naive and gullible masses that she believed it. You can tell by her statements regarding meditation and free sex that she was more interested in the political power, and warped type of communism.
Whether or not Osho himself believed in his teachings is up in the air. Based on my perception he did. According to Osho himself, he did not see himself as a religious leader. The movement can be seen from a secular lens. It's a movement about granting freedom and it's a mixture between materialism and collectivism. Altogether it's clearly a very misguided idea that ends up taking away freedom through reliance and stealing labor power. Calling whatever they had in Oregon a "Commune" is a grose subversion, it's essentially a worse form of capitalism where the workers aren't even paid wages, and are instead paid with being allowed to stay in the commune. The capitalists accrued vast sums of wealth by exploiting the deluded laborers.
The people who followed Osho's teachings were gullible, but the need for something greater than material greed is understandable. Capitalism creates an alienation from your labor where the perception becomes that you are performing labor not for yourself, but you are enslaved by the capitalist. The followers who built the 'commune' felt in touch with their labor because they felt as if they were creating something for themselves. Ofcourse the reality that was hidden from view was that they were creating something for the cult, not for themselves. The cult was stealing their labor through delusion. But, they were happy and made to think they were not enslaved thanks to the delusion.
She's a pathological liar. I don't believe a single thing that comes out of her mouth. This is the same person who said Osha was saying that he thought there would be an apocalypse. Absurd lies!
HOW!? You are the second person on this board I've seen who empathizes with Sheela. How can this possibly be? Did you guys see the same documentary as I did? She is a complete sociopath. She plotted assassination and she poisoned people. She is a pathological liar.
How did you feel more empathy towards the psychopath Sheela than towards Osha?
Sheela was an absolute psychopath throughout the documentary. I wouldn't be surprised if she had killed her first husband by poisoning him. She certainly seems capable of it. One of the investigators even said that based on speaking to her she seemed like a person completely lacking empathy.
I also felt bad for the Oregonians. At the same time, I marveled at what the commune builders were able to build out of seer shared motivation towards a united goal. I did not empathize with the leadership, but I did empathize with the people.
This is the future, and they have better medical care. In Season one Ford even says something about how the medical inventions are so great that they are able to conquer death.
The med kit that Emily used probably had some fancy medical gadgets, same as the one that William used in an earlier episode at a bar to fix a wound.
13. Ford's backup is moved into Bernard's brain ball and Bernard comes out of the Matrix.
14. Meanwhile Delores is attacking the cradle in order to take back her father. The host backups are destroyed. Delores probably kills her father in order to recover the data stored in him (off camera). Hale escapes with Stubbs.
15. Bernard shuts down cradle, consciously kills for the first time thanks to Ford's influence. He and Elsie decide to try to go to the valley before Delores reaches there.
16 ~ X. ?????
X. Bernard found at beach by rescue crew. They see a bunch of hosts floating in the water. Looks like this is where the hosts are trying to go throughout Season 2.
X+1. Bernard gets taken to the now destroyed cradle. He meets Hale again in the basement. Bernard is asked where Peter Abernathy is. He doesn't know.
X+2. Bernard and security guy (Stubbs) is taken to the secret area where Theresa was killed by Bernard. They discover Bernard bodies in a secret room and find out Bernard is a host.
X+3. Bernard is interrogated. Bernard tells Hayley where Peter Abernathy's control unit is located.
This is info so far upto end of Episode 7. Bernard/Delores's timeline is not explored in Episode 8.
The tall bald white guy is the key to understanding what occured in the past and what's in the future. This is because the bald guy only arrived in the future to take care of the problem, so you will never find him anywhere in the past.
1. Bernard in the barn during the shooting massacre by the hosts at the party (connection to Season 1)
2. Bernard and Hale escape along with a bunch of guests. Other guests die by some hosts. Bernard and Hale find an underground spot.
3. In the underground spot, Hale determines that Peter Abernathy must be recovered in order for Delos to send help. Bernard is able to locate Peter using a PDA.
4. Peter is held captive along with some guests by some Host hooligans who want to sell them to confederados.
5. Peter and Bernard are captured by confederados. Hale escapes on horseback.
6. Peter and Bernard meet Deloros at confederados fort.
7. During Delos attack on confederados fort, Peter Abernathy is captured by Hale and Delos and taken to cradle. Bernard is taken away by Clementine.
8. Clementine takes Bernard to a cave where he finds Elsie. There he also finds the secret area where Ford's brain ball was created previously.
9. It turns out that during Season 1, while Bernard was acting unconsciously, he had, by Ford's order, killed a bunch of people at that secret base and stolen Fords brain in order to place it in the Matrix world at the cradle.
10. In the hidden base, Elsie and Bernard find a hidden area where they find the clone of James Delos (old owner of Delos) and they kill him with fire.
11. Bernard and Elsie go to the cradle and Bernard gets plugged into the Martix, which is host backup data.
12. It turns out that Bernard hard brought Ford's brain ball and put it in the backup database so Ford exists in the Matrix. Bernard meets Ford. Ford explains original purpose of the park.
My point is to express myself, and in so doing pass information from one human to another. And possibily also to precipitate debate and discussion on the matter.
I personally feel Grillo brings a level of cinematography that is consistent with expectations. It is consistent with the cinematography of last season, for instance.
Tiernan cinematography is on par with something you see on cable TV, not on par with something you expect to see on an HBO program.
I advise people to compare and contrast cinematography between the odd numbered episodes and even numbered episodes. I think people will come to the same conclusions I did.
C'mon guys...
It's practically unignoreable now. Compare the amazing cinematography of the last episode (Episode 6) to the cinematography of Episode 5. They are Night and Day! Surely the normiest of the normie who doesn't even pay that much attention to the cinematography should see this...
John Grillo did every even numbered episode and Dan Tiernan did every odd numbered episode.

Wasn't Edward Norton young, more pale complexioned Dr. Bruce Banner?
Remember this is the future. In season 1 Robert says something along the line of humanity has found cures to all diseases.
So it's not clear to me that the Man in Black is a host based only on the heal gun. That being said, it is a possibility that he is a host. I don't know.
Dolores is not supposed to be a black and white good guy or bad guy in this season. Her interaction with Maeve in episode 2 hints at this fact.
It is difficult to see the hero you are rooting for turn to the dark side. But, it is not clear to me that in the real world there are heroes and villians. Throughout human history we have seen heroic revolutionaries do incredibly evil deeds. The hero to one is a villian to another; and the villian to one is a hero to another.
The comparison to LOST truly is the lowest comment you can make about any TV show. surely it can't be THAT bad.
I will grant that they have apparently cut budgets. They have hired cheaper cable TV cinematographers and worse actors. But, I've seen no fault in the writing so far. I grant that this is a subjective perspective.
It is clear that they are trying an incredibly complex arc for Dolores. You are seeing it from limited good guy guy/bad guy frame work. In the real world, the revolutionaries sometimes become the villains, we have seen it throughout our own human history. And remember, the hosts are modeled after humans.
Dolores' interaction with Maeve in episode 2 suggests that Dolores is not a black and white character in this season. She might indeed be turning to the dark side.
You might find this upsetting because you want a simple hero to root for. But, in the world there are complexities and nuances. It is not clear that there are infact heroes. The hero to one is a villian to another; a villian to one is a hero to another.
I guess from your perspective it doesn't matter that the humans were killing them over and over again for decades, just for sadistic pleasure. They are meeting psychosis with psychosis. Except in their case it's not sadistic, it's directed and necessary in order to acquire freedom.
She is intended to be a dynamic character. The dramatic shift in personality is in line with the plot developments. She was sleeping in Season 1, in Season 2 is is awake to reality. She is no longer a puppet (as far as we know, there is still a small possibility that she is running an elaborate script by Robert). She is now free. She is doing what's necessary to free her people from oppression.
No, it's random chance.
What did you think about Thanos's character, his motivations, and his relationship with Gamora?
