I'm pretty sure every Gaynon thread is the same handful of posters jerking each other off, he's taken the place of Nick Land now that he's fallen out of vogue.

For me, because he clearly describes the nature of modernity's nihilism, the religious expression of its elite class, which sacrifices every higher principle and instinct at the feet of the god Mammon. Don't care at all for his perennialist prescriptions though, I already know the Christ.

Because he has a point. Say what you will about his ideas but spirituality and tradition are dead and that is a fact. When someone has a point you agree with you want to give him a read.

>Bbbbut we have (((new age))), (((ideology))) and (((witchtok)))!!!
Not the same, never will be. It's Mc'donalds of spiritualism and tradition. Cope and seethe as much as you like but it is a fact.
