Started reading Evola - Revolt against the modern world. My initial impression is that he thinks Traditional man had a more natural and correct life and that science is wrong and bad.
These are standpoints that I don't strongly agree with. I'm thinking of abandoning this book.
Should I continue reading ? Does he make compelling arguments for his case ? Will I find anything of value in this book ?

Keep reading and find out for yourself. Does no one have an attention span of more than 5 minutes anymore?

The human condition that created science is bad eg the materialist modern belief in "cause and effect in the material plane framed within time and space" rather than the traditional world picture of transcendent causality

Pretty much this. Evola isn't anti science but he would consider it a discipline rooted in becoming not being and rebuke the mindset that believes it has obsoleted metaphysics.

Science isnt wrong and bad but it doesn't have any real meaning or value for life. Science is logic based and with logic one can't create new information, only re-iterate the premises.

And how does one create new information?

A child from a BM/WF couple will inherit the intelligence from the father and the constitution of the mother (slow of wit and weak of body) while a child born from a WM/BF pairing will inherit high intelligence and a robust body
