I read The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times, and I noticed how Guenon manages to make all his problematic claims unfalsifiable.

He even claims that the laws of nature have changed along history, which is enough to make any archeological, geological and physical evidente against him useless.

I know that this is a reddit-tier question, but does he accidentally make any falsifiable claim that can be used against him? This is not the best approach to Guenon, but I'm just asking out of curiosity.

Is magic (or more pretentiously: magick) worth researching at all?
It seems that the essence of magick is the belief that thought, however conceived, can affect matter. Of course, to count as magick, this influence has to be more profound than the ways that thought influences matter anyway (i.e., I choose to move my mouse).

So are there any resources worth looking into regarding this kind of magick? Is it actually a metaphor for particular cognitive acts? Or is it all bullshit?

Can anyone give me a summary of the overarching thrust of Guenon's metaphysics?
I am very familiar with Heidegger, Plato and Nietzsche and somewhat familiar with Evola and Plotinus so if anyone can place him within the constellation of those thinkers it would be helpful.

If you're a materialist, you hold conflicting views. Everything you do is in bad faith

In a lot of the things im reading i see this guy ibid source much of the material. I had no idea islam had such a disproportionate influence on western thought. Does this have something to do with guenon?

Why is traditionalism making a comeback? Will Guénonian Fascism finally become a serious movement?
