Why is New Age philosophically not taken seriously?

[Anonymous No.22552058]

>>22552056
Because it's made up bullshit

[Anonymous No.22552211]

>>22552056
Because certain people don't want you to take it seriously.

I have heard a few stories of new agers. They channel spirits or meet aliens or whatever and get convinced to waste their lives. It really is just misdirection from demons

The PhDs still get vaccinated. Their "hesitancy" isn't the same as yours. You're on the left side of the bell curve. You're worse than the midwit.

It is poorly written feelz material for women. Men already have an extensive historical acumen of philosophical justifications for doing whatever. As with anything else, men do just about everything better than women.

I've got a PhD in molecular biology and was initially somewhat hesitant, but i was willing to accept the mRNA vaccines. The biggest issue for me was the AstraZeneca vaccine, because the messaging around it was very schizophrenic, and i had to advise my parents whether to get it or not. I told them to do it because the benefits outweighed the risks, but i was pretty anxious the first week after they got it.

My biggest problem was with the messaging surrounding it, with everybody sucking the dicks of the pharmaceutical industry for some reason, and pushing a vaccine on such short notice is highly unusual. Those companies are not necessarily your friend. It even got so bad that i started to troll reddit, pretending i didn't have the vaccine and that covid was only a small cold for me, just out of spite to get a kick out of them. And i did.

Its no less justified than every other religious or mystical position, so why not?

This sort of mollifying reduction and robbing of the world's philosophical traditions to make some bland therapeutic excretion is exactly why no one takes the New Age seriously, either in the East or the West. It's like the equivalent of a toddler on Thanksgiving piling up her plate with maccaroni and gummy worms.

Not really, that's typical jargon for people in STEM outside of publications. In publications, it's usually mechanistic impenetrable jargon about extremely niche issues.
STEM grads are nowadays trained to become highly specialized idiot savants; the age of the polymath is over. This isn't due to the divorce between the sciences and philosophy, but purely due to the fact that you can only really produce novel research (and therefore publish) if you specialize in an extremely narrow area.

Because all of it refuses to acknowledge the shadow. It is so obvious that it is the dream of the collective "upper class white woman with too much time on their hands" unconscious in its wishy washy idealism. But thats probably just the popular conception of what new age philosophy is. Ill get back to you after reading the 4 arcane's.
