Most leftists tend to be losers, but so are Evolatards. Synchronicity is more of a cognitive feature and doesn't mean anything. There's no such thing as curses or hexes in this world, and I am not a physicalist/materialist.

Leftists are absolutely terrified of this guy

>>20731721
>and I am not a physicalist/materialist.
So you're a crypto-materialist.

>>20731738
Nope. I recommend reading some books on the basics of Philosophy of Mind and the "Hard Problem of Consciousness". Rejecting the possibility of curses/hexes doesn't make you into a crypto-materialist, troglodyte.

Already read much of them, they are all crypto-materialist and simply replace the idea of material with an equally static and mundane conception which changes nothing in practice.
>Rejecting the possibility of curses/hexes
Rejecting the reality of the supra-mundane almost certainly does.

>>20731809
Something like panpsychism/hylozoism vs. eliminativism does change much in practice. Roughly speaking, the former leads to seeing life as vibrantly alive, full of mystery and grandeur, whereas the latter makes you see all sentient beings as automatons with the illusion of qualia.
Moreover, the way one frames the supramundane considerably differs among various metaphysical systems or world traditions. I do not reject anti-materialist forms of certain systems of metaphysics. Granted, I'm pretty sure hexes/curses don't exist.

Sounds like an interesting fellow. Where do I start with him?

Julius Evola - Orientations: https://de.catbox.moe/z6uo7g.pdf

Life is equally alive and vibrant no matter which form of abstract retardation you subscribe to. Or if you're a depressive with chronic health issues, maybe life is vibrantly dull and full of death and disease.

>>20731891
You're missing my point, which was about how I can be an anti-materialist who does not believe in curses/hexes.
>Life is equally alive and vibrant no matter which form of abstract retardation you subscribe to.
Not to the eliminativists or token identity physicalists who argue consciousness is basically an illusion and wholly reducible to neural activity.

>>20731580
Same as always. Nobody that actually knows enough about reality to manipulate it is a leftist retard or even susceptible to political BS to begin with. The answer is as simple as that.

Also, evola and evolians believe first and foremost in the prevailing of agency over non-agency hence monarchy and hierarchy and warrior dispositions and heroic/magical transfiguration. Everything leftists do is the reverse of this, whether you give them open freedom in a "democracy", or a communist dictatorship, they end up leveling everything down into forms of slavery and helplessness because that's the principle they serve. This is also why they tend towards atheism and materialism, they fail to comprehend a supreme agency behind anything that happens and they perpetually blind themselves to the control they could possess over their circumstance and that society could have over circumstance.

TL:DR: leftists are subhumans that reject the very notion of agency so they get rekt by reality.

Dago you're my favorite tripfag but stop posting this decade-old chart, it sucks. Grail is a good book, but it's a hilariously random starting point considering that it all but assumes you've already read Revolt beforehand.

Unrelated note, but how does Evola's East & West compare to Guenon's book of the same name?

>>20731736
Evola hated Christianity, this is a well-known fact.

>>20731946
Then someone should just make a new one already.

>>20731946
>Evola's East & West
it is more of a loose collection of essays - there's a essay on guenon's east and west.
maybe you'd like that?

>chart
you got another one to share?

So didn't he live his mom in government housing apartment by the end of world war 2?

That's true, the site has been entirely colonized by election tourists and there's no use in expecting much else. It's like a kind of Venice of the Internet.

Holy fuck lmao based Evola

>>20731946
>Grail is a good book, but it's a hilariously random starting point considering that it all but assumes you've already read Revolt beforehand.
That recommendation was made by Evola himself. Evola suggested new readers should start with either Grail or Revolt, or Men Among the Ruins if you're more interested in politics.

>>20732074
I thought he said you should start with Plato's Republic?
