Guru cartoon
Gurus as authority figures
A cartoon about suspicion of authority.
The cartoon is also related to the tendency towards distrust of experts prevalent in the late 2010s and 2020s (although I personally don’t view gurus as experts!).
It is a cartoon about independent thinking, individualism, gullibility, followers, following authority, suspicion, identifying charlatans, charlatanism, wisdom, wise men, spiritual teachings, false authority, trust, persuasion, anti-authoritarianism.
