Books about a elite of technocrats killing its own workforce through a series of vaccines for a fake virus because they're no longer useful and robots are cooler and pollute less,

i think resident evil comes close but I'm not sure if there's books about it or it was just a game

lol and I forgot I read his book on calculus too...I only ever bought The Reign of Quantity and Metaphysical Principles of Infinitesimal Calculus. The rest I read as ebooks.

Essentially, I was very impressed by Guenon's anti-modernity trilogy (East West, Crisis, Reign of Quantity) but then I realized what he was really about (crypto-buddhism and annihilation) and immediately disliked him but continued to read him critically because I felt I needed to engage with him honestly before dismissing him. The more I read, the more I realized he's empty and a hack. I began to realize he never formulates great counter-arguments and rebuttals, and most of his argumentation goes along the lines of getting you to take his word for it out of fear of thinking like a modern, or some kind of vague and never clearly defined terminology that sounds cool. Nothing is ever explored in depth, it's all just hinted at and implied in this admittedly fun turn of the century occultist style. You really smell the 1920s antiquarian bookstore vibe in him, and I think lots of people will buy into him because of this without actually understanding his core dogma. The Chacornac biography succeeds well in playing up this atmosphere.

Man and His Becoming was good an exposition of advaita, but again he doesn't succeed in formulating strong counter-arguments. Everything is stated as an eternal fact beyond question, but also beyond deep analysis.

Multiple States of the Being was surprisingly bad. I didn't expect someone who emphasized pure metaphysics so much to write a purely metaphysical book that is so bad. Again, it shows that when push comes to shove he's not a strong thinker.

His book on calculus was also pretty bad. It was just petty seething at definitions, and an inability to see why Cantor could be useful in math. It's hard for me to make a solid judgment since I haven't studied math at the university level.

Intro to the Study of Hindu Doctrines is "FUCK WHITE PEOPLE" the book. Terrible. Lots of sweeping, unsubstantiated armchair history. This was the book that made me realize Guenon was shit. I don't know why Guenonfag recommends it as a starting point. Had I read it to begin with I would have never read anything else by him.

Are there any books about how to live with dignity as a beta male?
