Does anyone have that image of a Rene Guenon quote about ideological rationality and sentimentalism being essentially identical, contrasted with a picture of Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, and the other intellectual grifters seated together at a table? I can't find it anywhere pls respond

Utter fluff. Absolutely no substance to anything he's saying here, as with most of his writings. The majority of what he writes is fueled by ressentiment towards intellectuals more popular than him.

I remember this thread. I replied to this image with a very relevant quote by Disraeli which one of the anon's (most probably he is present in this thread) replied this post:
>13968325

This shows how ignorant most people who read Guénon are. He felt confident enough so as to tell me things like "I understand what Guénon meant, you don't. Read East & West"

Even though he remained absolutely ignorant of the matter and declared his victory in this "argument" (it wasn't)

He never replied to this post, because he understood his defeat. Guénon readers, take heed.

>The deeper causes of history here can refer to both those that act in a negative sense and those that may act in a positive or unifying sense— operate chiefly through what can be called "imponderable factors," to use an image borrowed from natural science. These causes are responsible for almost undetectable ideological, social, and political changes, which eventually produce effects observable in the material realm: These causes almost never act in a direct manner, but instead bestow to some existing processes an adequate direction that leads to the designated goal and they truly can have a metaphysical character to them and a secret influence.

>Even if the work of actors is not taking place in a World of Causes fluid and not solid one could even argue by theology: "God Himself is not found to interfere arbitrarily with the course of Nature, but to work within His laws." The whole premise lies on this particularity. Even Guénon would agree. You do not seem to agree with this fact.

>Unlike what happens in the domain of physical phenomena: person with an insight into history (or someone who would write a book called East & West ) encounters several instances where the "causal" explanation (in the deterministic, physical sense) is unsatisfactory, because things do not add up and the total does not equal the sum of the apparent historical factors—almost as if someone adding five, three, and two ended up not with ten, but with fifteen or seven. This differential, especially when it appears as a differential between what is willed and what has really happened, or between ideas, principles, and programs on the one hand and their effective consequences in history and it's apparent causes be they fluid or materia secunda.

It wasn't a very relevant quote you seething autist. There is a difference between the small (relatively) scale actions of political agitators unified through self interest in creating a global police state, of which Disraeli speaks, and the underlying metaphysical currents which determine their actions in the first place. It's a question of primacy, it's sort of like the difference between a group exploiting a system for their benefit and the metaphysical properties that define that system in the first place. I.e. the difference between the people rigging the game and the people who invented the game in the first place.

Are Guenon posters unironicaly so low that they wojak post? And not even with an attempt at a comeback. All they can do is turn a text green and post a poorly drawn man crying.


It’s quite tragic, really.
