A purple, 35,000-year-old warrior from Atlantis shows up in a woman’s kitchen… and somehow turns her into a millionaire. Totally normal. Today’s Timesuck unpacks the wild, weird, and wildly profitable story of JZ Knight, Ramtha, and the New Age empire based in Yelm, Washington that asks: what if enlightenment… was just really confident nonsense?
