This guy single-handedly makes me ashamed to be associated with anyone related to the traditionalist school. He is so arrogant it isn't even a meme, it is just pathetic. I am literally laughing at the thought that such a horribly tattooed fat literal-who on YouTube considers himself to be the recipient of divine sophia. I don't know how he became associated with Rama Coomaraswamy when Rama is so mellow and understated in his interviews.

I knew that from the start on his commentaries on Plotinus. You can tell by Ken's words, actions and thoughts that he does not take Plotinus to heart. Wheeler brags about sex. Plotinus held celibacy to be the highest form of human existence and thought the loss of seed was harmful. Ken Wheeler's gluttony and unchastity makes me dismiss him as a neoplotinus entirely, and see him as a pseud hobbiest that talks the talk, but does not walk the walk.

I don't think he's a traditionalist as such, he only mentions coomaraswamy, he's also said he doesn't want anything to do with religion, so he seems to simply be a Neoplatonist.

This guy rants about almost nothing for ten minutes, interspersed with bragging and insulting others. very annoying imo

If you are aware of the Jason incident, Ken allegedly messaged him about and told him he was having sex followed by an Emjoi. This said, I hate Jason, and could see it being fabricated. I also have nothing against Ken's photography opinions in general, so if he didn't claim to be a neoplatonist, I would not have thought much of it. He's also referred to photography objectives as "porn" before, which not only serves by extension to endorse the toleration of an immutable evil (i.e. actual pornography), but an insult if you actually know Ancient Greek because porne = whore, so to apply "porn" to anything from "food porn" to "glass porn", is to actually denigrate the subject matter. All of this show his soul is polluted and will never be unified with any of Plotinus's thogut.

this most likely the answer

>but an insult if you actually know Ancient Greek...

this is an unusual criticism, is he supposed to completely abandon any vernacular to show how holy he is? he might be dismissive of some ethical issues but i don't agree with your conclusions
