Nick & Esther's past videos have been inspirational, but unlike most of their other commenter's, I found this video to be below their standards because it lacks integrity. How can anyone find integrity or courage in people who make broad negative claims about another's endeavors, and then fail to back up their negative allegations with specific facts. For instance Fouche's video early on mentions "Emotional Abuse"? Yet they did not provide even one factual example. Poor sanitation? Again what are they talking about? What facts constituted poor sanitation in their mind? Unsafe structures? There is nothing at all brave about saying you encountered unsafe structures if they don't provide even one fact to support their allegation. There is no integrity, no courage, and no grace in making a broad negative comment against another that no one can either refute or verify.
Esther, goes on to say negative things that are "not what I (she) experienced". This merely back stabbing gossip. If someone she met did experience them, they must be the one to share them. It is beyond poor form to pass off anyone's behind the back whining as something others should know.
The only thing solid a rational person can take from Fouche's video is that they do not endorse Wheaton Labs because there is not much instruction given to those who come to work as boots or ants, and there is insufficient food growing, and animals raised to meet their standards. That's a fine criticism -if they clearly state their own standards.
Though I offer no opinion on the policies or personalities at Wheaton Labs, I do hope that one of the Fouche's high standards included taking their concerns directly to their host, taking it to him or her first, asking for a specific resolution, and then getting a answer or a clear failure to answer -before airing their issue in permies.
While many Fouche O Matic supporters claim to find their video helpful, they are often the same fools who complain about a cult atmosphere at Wheaton Labs while in the very same post they claim to trust the Fouche's completely. Those posters have explicitly put their complete trust in the "Cult" of Fouch -O Matic" -Idiots.
