RE: What does esoteric mean to you and how has it influenced your life? 1up Contest & TribeSteemUp Bi-Weekly Question

in #esoteric6 years ago

This is the trickiest business going from the perch I sit on...
Here is one of many examples I could give: The Georgia Guidestones. These seem to be steeped in esoterica. They just happen to call for the removal of about 6-billion people off the earth as a remedy for environmentalism.
I reject this type of esoterics completely. It's a type of esoteric fascism.
The population isn't in itself the problem; the problem is an unsustainable economic model premised on greed and a poor interpretation of evolution.
Esoterica can be ethical and helpful but can also be incredibly destructive.
It's a real problem when an individual or a group espouses dubious action based on phenomenology. This is how witch burnings happened and many other atrocities.
Esoteric has to align with logic and reason and can't blatantly contradict these faculties. Non-rational​ is fine but irrational is not.
