Busy? Stressed? Got too much on your plate to undergo that ontological transformation you keep telling yourself you'll get around to? Never fear! Julius Evola's final major work, 'Ride the Tiger', bills itself as a 'survival manual for the aristocrats of the soul'. That is to say, it's an immensely practical work, one which describes how a differentiated man can integrate and orient himself to above, even in these dark times of the Kali Yuga.

*nuzzles u sexyly* LAMAOOOO! My Immortal, published serially on fanfiction.net between 2006 and 2007, is a gothic re-imagining of the Harry Potter universe.

1967: Oskar Kiss Maerth writes 'The Beginning Was the End' in his MGTOW man cave, a Buddhist monastery in Guangdong Province, China. 1971: this book is published and the human race learns the truth about where it came from.

Julius Evola’s ‘Revolt Against the Modern World’ is a book in two parts. Book I is where Evola lays out his metaphysics. Book II is where he applies them to human history, explaining why things are so awful now, and why they’ll only get worse. In episode #8, we discussed book I. In this episode, we tackle book II, except without Levi’s audio. You see, we lost Levi’s audio tracks. Rather than admit defeat, we’ve stitched together Jack’s parts and edited them for clarity.
