Aaron J. French is a post-doctoral researcher in Religious Studies at the University of Erfurt in Germany.  His main research focuses on the  History of Esotericism, the History and Philosophy of Science, Sacred  Space and Architecture, modern German Philosophy, and Science and  Technology Studies. In this episode, we discuss the work of Rudolf Steiner in relation to technology, the apocalypse, transhumanism, and more... 
Aaron wanted me to add that in the discussion about the so-called incarnation of Ahriman that he touches on in the interview, there is a  bit of a conflation with the appearance of another being Steiner talks about, Sorath or the anti-Christ. It is not entirely clear in what remains of Steiner's work which demon is supposed to appear in 1998 (3 x  666) and which one in 2664 (4 x 666); rather, these two dates, and these two demonic beings, are somewhat conflated at this point in the anthroposophical literature. But nevertheless, there is a strong connection between these two dates and these two demons, especially in relation to the preparation of the earth in order that it will be able to receive them.
