> magical thinking and pseudo babble, it hardly fits on HN

Don't ask Newton about the pseudo babble stuff. Nor the string "theorists". In fact, don't ask any of the "theoretical" physicists (an oxymoron by definition, which seems to be lost on almost all of them) about "magical thinking and pseudo babble".

Well, Anthroposphy was explicitly targeted by the Nazis.. Rudolf Steiner's first Goetheanum was literally burnt down by them and he had to flee to Switzerland. The 'roots' and branches of 1920s - 1940s Western occultism is largely a Theosophical society thing.
