Its trying to convey a thread of transmission from Guenon's thought to political ideology. It's interesting. I don't know how how I feel about the accuracy of it though.

An interesting start, especially with the autobiographical prologue, but the umbrella branch of Traditionalism is way too broad, and then creating a history of this broad branch seems a bit ambitious of an endeavour.

Very interesting. More interesting than the Zen & the Brain Book which is hurting my brain at te moment. So this is a good palate cleanser.

This book is going through some pretty disturbing scenarios like economic crashes, autonomous drone warfare, cyberwarfare on whole countries.

Michael Nguyen is on page 191 of 352 of The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World
I'm finding the holistic approach of trying to create a "Master Algorithm" for an Al which has human-like intelligence to be misguided. The author is here describing all the schools of thought, the symbolists, connectionists, bayesians, analogists, and evolutionists and trying to bridge the gap between them. I haven't gone to the gap bridging chapter yet, but I don't see how this convolution leads to a single code.
