Guenon fails to take human nature into account, the reign of quantity and the signs of the times is basically a tirade againt Guenon's personal inability to get with the times and embrace change, imagine if everybody had done what Guenon's suggests in the book, we wouldn't have the internet, major advances in Genomics and medical science, clean water for billions, the Nissan GTR, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Metallica. Would we all live in a village and grow our own food and happy to do so, dying at the ripe age of 40? probably, but for how long? Boredom and the drive to reach for the stars is inbuilt into our programming, for better or for worse.
