## Resource

The episode chronicles the transformation of Eligio Bishop, also known as NatureBoy, from a charismatic social media influencer into a convicted felon. Bishop founded Carbon Nation, a nomadic spiritual movement that promised Black liberation and a return to nature, but the group eventually devolved into a coercive cult defined by isolation and abuse. The narrative details how Bishop weaponized racial trauma and digital platforms to manipulate young creatives before his eventual downfall. His transition from a self-proclaimed deity to a prisoner is marked by a 2024 conviction for rape, false imprisonment, and revenge porn. Ultimately, the sources serve as a cautionary tale regarding the dangers of unchecked authority and the exploitation of communal ideals in the internet age.
