re: #88 Nyet

Rod sounds like a bunch of these older traditionalists, like the above-mentioned Evola or Rene Guenon aka Abd al-Wahid Yahya. All revolting against the modern world and finding refuge in a (usually somewhat exotic) Tradition (be that syncretistic esotericism, Islam or Orthodoxy).

Yep.

Rod has stated (on many occasions) that everything went wrong with William of Ockham and the advent of nominalism in the 13th to 14th centuries… (sigh, look it up, I guess) and then things went really really wrong in the 18th century with the Enlightenment.

America, according to Rod, is a doomed, perverse and wicked society (he loves using wicked as often as possible)because we do not have a shared transcendental understanding of Nature and God…and that would only have been possible if we were less diverse (cue some anecdote from his race realism buddy Steve Sailor) and still held to Aristotle’s Theory of Universals.

See, if we still believed in universals (IE a universal type of male or female, or a universal type of green etc) then nominalist freak transgender people like me could never exist because the mental framework allowing for our very being simply would never arisen and we could never abuse will in order to transgress against the universal natural law.

Or some shit like that.
