I questioned that as well, but then I proceeded to listen (something we all need to start doing). I hadn't heard of Andrew Bustamante until that video. I suspect that title was designed to sensationalize and try to pull in more clicks.
That title was created by the podcast interviewer, not by Bustamante. After listening, I can see why they titled it that, but it was a poor choice and is very misleading, invoking preconceptions that aren't quite in line with Bustamante's message.
For example, listen to this bit from the second video: https://youtu.be/l46oWMu3b9M?t=7820.
There were a few bits he says in that particular discussion that I don't agree with, but what I absolutely do agree with is his approach to life and mindset. To your point, go into everything cautiously. However, never outright dismiss without due diligence.
You know, that old adage of "never judge a book by its cover". Don't rush to judgement, either in the affirmative or the negative. Delve into it first, scrutinize it, and only then render a judgement in a slow, measured manner. Or in other words...
