What would Steiner's take be on social media?

I currently have a very complicated relationship with social media (as do many others) and it got me wondering, What would Steiner have thought of Social media? We can only speculate but I'm sure there are people on here who are better read than I that could make an informed guess.

Also, is it possible to have an anthroposophical approach to Social media?

All thoughts welcome!

Did Mr. Steiner ever talk about Krishnamurti apart from rejecting that he is Christ (which K. himself refused)

I am new to Anthroposophy and have found help in various traditions and teachers, including Krishnamurti. I am curious to know if he ever talked about Krishnamurti and his teachings.

Thank you in advance.

Deleuzian experimental film and organ-harp-piano fantasia

Hi there,

I’m a harpist-pianist-composer/academic in the philosophical-esoteric milieu, about to finish my doctorate. I’ve written about Deleuze a lot in my doctorate and have some published papers on his ideas. So I created an organ-harp-piano music video that is also an experimental film that incorporates Deleuzian ideas. It’s an original philosophical manifesto, and if you are familiar with Deleuze’s ideas, particularly the Difference and Repetition stuff, you’ll notice how I both employ Deleuze’s ideas and transform them.

It's about an oneiric musical language of spiritual hieroglyphs.  And I also combine ideas from Novalis (I’m probably most known as a Novalis scholar in the academic world currently), Schelling, Giordano Bruno, Rudolf Steiner, Boehme, Walter Benjamin (and Kabbalah), also the work of Dianna Reed Slattery.

No AI was used in the making of this song, video, or philosophical text; it is 100% human-created art.

I also created a lot of hand-made animations for it, mainly ancient Egyptian and alchemical motifs.
Hope you enjoy!!!!

Are they merely describing anthroposophist? Article: “What is an 'otrovert?' The internet is buzzing about them” (USA Today article)

I couldn’t help but find some of the traits representing goals of spiritual science.

Curious about the astral realm.

So what I've come to understand is that within Steiners ontology the human being is composed of four layers, the physical body, the aetheric body, the astral body, and the I. Each of these corresponds to a particular kind of substance in the world, which I think I've heard also corresponds to the four classical elements. Now my question is this, if each of these are particular kinds of substance, why is it possible to cleanly differentiate the universe into distinct realms, after all, the classical elements that we see on earth are all overlapping and jumbled up with one another. Is the cosmos like a jar or sediment where these different kinds of substance are layered due to differences of density? Also people talk a lot about the astral and physical realms, is there also an aetheric realm?
