Esoteric Knowledge

We define Escotric Knowledge simply as information understood by a small number of people with a specialized interest.

We consider a topic esoteric if it captures the curiosity of only a select few, lying just beyond the reach of mainstream awareness. When the media labels something as a conspiracy, myth, or fake news then it's probably our kind of subject! We’re drawn to themes that defy convention and invite us to explore the topic with a fresh lens - whether debunking, fact-checking, or diving into thoughtful, sceptical discussions that challenge accepted mainstream narratives or propaganda!

Throughout history, many ideas once considered esoteric have eventually entered the mainstream, reshaping what was once orthodox into widely accepted knowledge, moving from the Fringe to Fact. We believe that esoteric thought often acts as a precursor to the future, as it remains more open-minded and interpretative in nature. Unlike religious teachings, which can be dogmatic, or scientific methods, which can be rigid, esoteric thought is flexible and inclusive, sitting comfortably between science and religion. Being esoteric in nature means inviting interpretations from a broad range of scientific, humanist, religious, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives, which we regard as a more welcoming voice from all walks of life.

For example, there are countless examples from Science fiction, like The X-Files, once a fringe subculture, that over time those sci-fi concepts transitioned from imagination to accepted reality. Similarly, in a post-COVID world, where trust in mainstream media, government, and even scientific institutions has waned, esoteric thought has offered a unique middle ground to question both science, religion and mainstream propaganda.

If we view religious texts as ancient ways of passing down wisdom through stories and myths, and science as a secular approach to understanding our existence, then esoteric thought stands between these worlds. It bridges science, humanism, technology, spirituality, and beyond, allowing for a holistic exploration of truth. In a world increasingly searching for alternative perspectives, esoteric thought may just be the way forward - an approach that values openness, questioning, and a broader understanding of reality.

"Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics"

- Mark Twain

Humanism and the Esoteric have both been gaining popularity over time as popular thought movements - another reflection of a more secular society. However, Esotericism has only rre-emerged more recently as it's own field of study towards the mainstream since the 1990's as shown by Google Books Ngram below.
