A month-long exploration of Rudolf Steiner’s visionary thinking and its bearing on the present — consciousness, spiritual evolution, karma and reincarnation, read against AI, technofeudalism and the psychedelic renaissance.
An introduction to Rudolf Steiner for readers formed by scientific materialism, arguing that analytic idealism — via Bernardo Kastrup — gives a coherent framework for taking Steiner seriously again. Covers his cosmology of recurring Earth incarnations, the subtle bodies, the organs of imagination, inspiration and intuition, and the opposing forces he named Lucifer and Ahriman, with the suggestion that artificial intelligence is the Ahrimanic incarnation he foresaw.
A guided tour of Western esotericism across six weekly sessions — Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Theosophy, the OTO and the Fourth Way — and their influence on the psychedelic renaissance, chaos magic and the New Age.

Starting from the British political scandal over decades of child sexual abuse and its cover-up, this piece argues that profit-driven systems select for sociopaths and that elite universities train what Herbert Marcuse called irrational rationality. Pinchbeck describes an occult control system, links Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati to Rudolf Steiner’s Ahriman, and notes that Egypt and Central America gave Set and Tezcatlipoca a ritual place.
Built around quotations from Bataille’s On Nietzsche, Antonio Negri’s Time for Revolution, and Georg Kuhlewind’s Becoming Aware of the Logos, the piece argues that capitalism rests on domination and cannot be reformed, only superseded. Pinchbeck holds that a cooperative society must integrate humanity’s destructive tendencies as ancient Egypt and the Maya did through paired deities like Set and Tezcatlipoca.
In this Dazed & Confused interview, cancer researcher and acupuncturist Dr. Sung Baek, head of the Korean Taoist Donghane clan, reads the end of the Mayan Long Count as the start of a new era rather than an ending. He predicts that mutated germs, radiation from the Japanese disaster and natural disasters will sharply reduce the population during what Taoists call the Dragon period.
