I am myself critical of Guenon, but I am willing to discuss.

Isn't the obvious problem with traditionalism and its hate for modernism, that traditionalism itself is a product of modernism? Guenon himself critiques the modern world and what not, but doesn't he himself realize that his interpretation of religion and culture is merely as modernist as anything else that was happening at that time?

A clear example of this is how he has to make up a new definition of metaphysics to make his ideas work. This is a (painfully obvious) modernist thing to do; Making up a new narrative to make sense of the past. If Guenon was a ""genuine"" traditionalist and his claims about there being a "perennial wisdom" out there was true, couldn't he just simply join that tradition instead of having to make up a theory from scratch?

> breakfast
> read

> perhaps paint, trying to do it more
> perhaps write, trying to do it more
> lunch

there is a lot of wasted time inbetween everything, either on youtube or 4chan.

What is your field? Sounds like a comfy life to be honest. I have considered going for an academic carrier, either philosophy or psychology, and living this sort of life.
