  Addressing a smear campaign and providing education around public manipulation tactics

  Jul 18, 20261h 49mS2

  This week we're stepping outside our usual programming to address a public post from Jessica Rein, founder of the Holistic Human Design Conference, that mischaracterized James and the New School of Human Design. We walk through the full history behind it: James and Jessica's years-long relationship as teacher and student, the Fall 2025 Oslo conference, the 4% film project, and the harassment James received from the film's creative director, Selen Parmen, after he set boundaries. We also break down DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender), a manipulation pattern named by psychologist Jennifer Freyd, and share a professional statement from clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Lalitha Pieri on why this situation fits that pattern. We don't take airing this publicly lightly. We sat with it for three weeks before deciding to speak, and we're sharing full documentation so you don't have to take our word for it. Check out the Dropbox folder with the receipts here . The files are numbered in order chronologically. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/jt6cuhyrx8qpl50yrgy8d/AKrB54C2FQsToGO_ky7QEf8?rlkey=9eir012xvvtelugocu587ifib&st=6b25irja&dl=0
