Important note that I really appreciate the comments on this video as they pertain to Steiner the man, and I'm reading a lot that I did not know. I guess I personally have always thought of Steiner as an eccentric philosopher, somewhat caught up in the esoteric lecturing/writing popular at the time, but who had some thoughtful ideas about agriculture. What I was not aware of were his more troubling, racist comments. Obviously, I do not endorse that. I think, like many ideas (or tools or methods, etc) from an earlier time, biodynamics has a complicated history. But that context is important. I don't blame anyone for passing on this approach for those reasons. Thank you as always for the insight, y'all. You are great. | Important note that I really appreciate the comments on this video as they pertain to Steiner the man, and I'm reading a lot that I did not know.
