Guenon is crap. Get into pneumaticism. It's a scientific theory.

>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.
Now you're understanding why science requires faith in *something* in order to operate. Because how do you know that the laws of nature are the same now as they were 1000 years ago? Even Big Bang theorists admitted that the laws of nature must have been much different in the beginning, when the universe was a hot, dense singularity.

There is no point trying to falsify his claims because they are not 'claims' at all in any sort of externalised scientific correspondence type manner - all of the things he talks about are truths derived from intellectual intuition which enjoys full certainty (at least from the perspective of the Universal, if not in its application to contingent domains such as that of nature). now some have critiqued Guenon for this conception of truth, which has the quirk of "if you see, you see, if not, then not", but that is only if you have the presupposition of truth being a public, falsifiable, scientific proposition, which is exactly what Guenon disagrees with in the first place.

He is right. Some laws of physics are not as static as people have been led to believe.

this
people just don't get from 'where' Guénon is speaking, it's not a matter of right, wrong, opinion or research, all of that simply disappears when you look at things from the same 'position' as he looked
ultimately either you get it or not, there's not a middle position, but to get there you need to read 'The symbolism of the cross' and 'The multiple states of the being'

I can't think of anything, even when he predicts events he makes it clear that it's just a prediction and not a "prophecy".

That's because you have only a quarter brain

There's something off about this picture. I can't put my finger on it but I can't believe a human looks like this.

He almost certainly had autism. Maybe it's that.

Idk but I've also observed this, in general his worldview is incredibly coherent, that's why so many people see him as infallible

He has an extremely long face. Odd how low your aesthetic sense is if you genuinely couldn't tell that this is what makes him look off.
