Do you read any terms and conditions or do you eventually realize that they're everywhere the same if your IQ allows you to draw such a conclusion in the first place?

Eliade is great. Also, you're probably underestimating your knowledge of Hegel. Full comprehension of his entire philosophy isn't necessary to understand the basic ideas in the PoS and their place in intellectual history. If you're really only 20 and you already started working on it, you'll grasp more of it eventually.

He is, isn't he! I'm really enjoying his approach to Traditionalism, a lot softer than Guenon or Evola. That's some encouraging thought on Hegel, thank you anon, I'm going to keep driving at it until I have a penny-drop moment.
