Evola/traditionalism

You don't understand traditionalism. Traditionalism isn't a "theory" or "system" of philosophy. It's about ancient understandings of wisdom and truth. This can inevitably only be described through history.

Ride the tiger is pretty culturally relevant right now

Say you're jacking off to a can of minted peas. Over the course of a couple of weeks, try and jack off the same amount, but gradually cut back to half a can of minted peas. then 1/4, 1/8th and so forth. Over the course of 2 months you should be jacking off to almost nothing at all, and the transition to asexuality will be complete. It's not easy, but I hope this helps :)

People hate on the idea of reading Evola because /pol/ likes him but given he's cited by an influence by Bannon who is at the intersect between Trump and this new wave of right wing retards, I think his work is at least topical.

Quads of truth just ordered the book wish me luck

But Evola did just that in the preface, explain a method or purpose for the study of tradition. I can and would rather read the primary works on my own, instead of ecountering them for the first time dispersed in Revolt against the modern world, which seems to be a book to read after you have the info, and want someone to put it together/interpret it

Wrong. Please provide evidence of this.

To study "tradition" could take lifetimes. Just read his book god damn it and go off on tangents afterwards you find interesting.

He referenced Evola in a vatican speach and "dogwhistles" epoch cycles
>>9924444
Should you read Revolt/ruins before ride the tiger?

>>9924482
>mentions someone once
>an influence

Do you even know the context of what he was saying?

>>9924458
Rereading things I misremembered things and saying I thought he had Evola as an "influence" was imprecise and misleading, but still he does interestingly connect Evola to the modern right wingers

Was this autism?

I also would be interested in some structured traditionalist writings.

Cosmos and Transcendence by Wolfgang Smith. Short but elegantly written, deconstructs all the bs intellectual myths of modernity that masquerade as scientific "truths"
