Anthroposophy (Explained in 2 Minutes)

Anthroposophy is a philosophical and spiritual movement founded by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. It is based on the idea that there is a spiritual world that can be perceived through a heightened consciousness or spiritual insight, and that this spiritual dimension is intrinsically connected to the physical, material world. The term "anthroposophy" is derived from the Greek words for "human" and "wisdom."

Cool, but, Anthropos = human and Sophia=wisdom

As a follower of the philosophy, I am okay with this summary. However, I wish there was a way to convey the love and compassion for all of humanity that is central to Anthroposphy.

Anthroposophy is the best current path forward, it embraces physical, psychological and spiritual science. It is not closed minded. If traditional science actually embraced it more they would have saved billions of dollars.

Helps us to understand quantum entanglement in the healing process

Interesting, but the Spiritual, its just feelings, perhaps there's something else, but as usual we don't have access to it, and the resulting philosophy it's just speculations

The main criticisms here, especially "lack of verifiability" and "borders on pseudoscience" are literally not backed up by anything lol. Lots of anthroposophical stuff could be verified with science, but studies are very expensive and time consuming. Also Steiner was very clear that anthroposophy should not be taught in schools, that's just something the critics say to try to make waldorf schools seem weirder.
