Amanda Montell:"cult"一词主观且具有煽动性,其含义取决于语境,每个人都能根据自身经历判断一个群体是否为邪教。许多被冠以“邪教”标签的边缘狂热团体并不符合所有邪教标准,而一些主流机构却符合这些标准。“邪教”一词没有明确定义,一些试图建立官方标准(如魅力型领导者、非我族类、超自然信仰、目的论)的尝试存在局限性。“邪教”一词不足以判断一个群体是否危险,因此她们创建了“生活如常”、“小心为妙”、“赶紧逃离”三种邪教类别。我们都生活在一些类似邪教的制度中,例如婚礼文化,它对人们施加了巨大的社会压力,要求人们遵循传统习俗。戒除邪教的空间也可能存在类似邪教的特征。并非所有邪教都是有害的,“生活如常”型邪教可以为人们提供归属感和安全感。 Issa Medina:她们将邪教分为“生活如常”(绿旗)、“小心为妙”(黄旗)和“赶紧逃离”(红旗)三种类型。机构规则本身并不一定代表邪教,关键在于规则的执行方式和对违规者的惩罚程度。 Issa Medina:在一段关系中,设定界限是重要的,即使对方处于困境,也应该进行有效的沟通,而不是采取冷暴力或忽视对方。这个故事表面上是关于Peloton的,实质上是关于一段有毒关系的故事。睡眠剥夺是邪教操纵的常用手段。新年决心文化也是一种类似邪教的现象,它对人们施加了巨大的压力,要求人们在一年之初做出改变。
