t. has read maybe 1 Ed feser book and 2 Plato dialogues, has a PDF of the seraphim rose book on nihilism on his pc which he hasn’t read (next to some evolas and that ‘libido dominandi’ book - Is thinking about deleting michael gira’s the consumer for being ‘degenerate’ and worldly), has ‘Christ: the eternal tao’ and ‘the reign of quantity and the sign of the times’ on his goodreads ‘to read’ list, regularly makes haughty and mocking replies whenever he sees people talking about modern philosophers he hasn’t read; is particularly incensed by discussion of people like Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida etc., tried to read alasdair Macintyre once but found himself rereading basic sentences four, maybe five times, used to idolise Mishima as a traditionalist but now skirts around the topic of his sexuality, browses the Catholic subreddit sometimes but gets annoyed by the light tone of conversation (for him religiosity means acting brooding and grim, possessing a smouldering pessimism, a seriousness that admits no levity—primarily a sensual fantasy although he won't admit it) and stops browsing within a day or two, says he might check out this ‘tradcath’ subreddit sometime but never does—he isn’t attracted to online spaces which don’t irritate him: he likes the orthodox subreddit for the occasional ‘based’ pictures of hirsute priests blessing ak-47s but blushes when some regular and well-respected poster (who he imagines to be grave, broad and muscular, like a Slavic bear) talks (without hysteria or moralism but rather with a peasant's brute insight) about the western alt-right noodle-arms that mistakenly think they’re in good company on orthodox discussion forums, and quickly retreats back to the anonymity of 4chan, reconsolidates his withering faith by rewatching the passion of the christ and crying when millionaire-actor jesus says 'see mother, i make all things new', listens to the prince of egypt sountrack when he gets humiliated by some "tranny" online and feels vengeful (righteous anger at evil he calls it), misses the mde and common filth subreddits but is ashamed of having ever indulged in such vulgar and un-erudite company, the lowbrow circumstances of his first steps toward conversion constitute a serious threat to his self-identity and the attractive notion that his conversion was motivated by the discovery of the arcane logics and argumentation rigour of the Catholic Church, makes up for his low status on the intellectual totem pole by criticising youtube preacher pastor anderson's irrationalist baptist doctrines, although he tepidly praises his 'enthusiasm' and his 'redpilled attitude' toward the jews (nazism is a perpetual attraction for him, he feels saintly for resisting it)

No.
It's the opposite : new stuff mostly bad. Since he judge a lot of antique stuff as new and degenerations of more ancient stuff. So it can be said that he doesn't judge with a simple criterion like "past" or "new". His thought is of course more complex than that.
But in fact it's a traditional principle that was common in antiquity. That's why church fathers argued a lot about the antiquity of their doctrine coming from the Hebrew in comparison to that of philosophers.
Tl;Dr you don't understand Guenon

Some religions are degenerations for him.
We are far from a new-agist

[Anonymous No.14007503]

Almost never. Old stuff at least survive the test of time, 99% of new stuff reveals itself as just a passing fad.

The new stuff is not actually new tho, it's just a rehash of old Moloch

Trads need psychotherapy to overcome their autistic old book fetish. Imagine thinking old books are good because they're "old" and not because they are good on their own merit.

this was such a great thread

[Anonymous No.14008551]

There are big gaps
There’s Ancient Greek than Roman than nothing until Dante. Then nothing until Shakespeare. Then a 19th century literary explosion in Europe plus three books from burgerland. Then modernist explosion post WW1.
After 1939 you can pretty much stop reading. It’s mostly just Pomo rubbish
After that
