@J @7666 @amerika @arcana @sun @toiletpaper that's true, I guess I mean wrt esoteric Christianity—Christianity, already being a democratization of Greek philosophy (if we take Nietzsche's reading of Christianity at face value anyway), further democratized and therefore exotericized its own teachings during the Enlightenment. So in the West at least it makes sense this would be a problem, and more of a problem than in China or India or wherever, where Western Enlightenment-modernization has had less impact
