By esoteric you mean pseudoscience believers, homeopaths and the like?

Recently moved back from Germany after five years there, homeopathy depressingly common and accepted there, even by many medical professionals.




Yes this is what I meant.

We still have homeopathic pills and "treatments" which are being paid by the health insurance. Something which goes back to some politicians wife who believed in it and was able to influence the political process. The huge Steiner tradition in here is catastrophic. We just recently had COVID running wild in a Waldorf school. Turns out, faked vaccination certificates were very popular...

It's quite embarrassing and it's actually the first time the side effects of this madness come up in public discourse.
