Preshow notes:
I have been wanting to talk about this for a while, and your discussion with BC convinced me. This is for taping on Tuesday
What do you mean by materialism?
What is the opposite of materialism?
Did Evola believe that war (at the individual level) was the ultimate transcendental act?
How do religious rituals and sacrifices fit in with this?
What examples do we have from the ancient world that informed Evola's thesis?
How does a population which exists in a mostly abstract reality still become the most materialist in history?
How come people who have more connection to the material world have more appreciation for the transcendental or spiritual? Are these trends (less manual work and physical engagement and less spirituality) correlated or coincidental?
Do men need to achieve some mastery in the physical world to complement their intellectual development?
What about the ability to avoid fatherhood? The availability of birth control has been hell on the white birth rate much more than others in this country.
Our culture is so abstracted from the physical that people believe that chromosomes do not dictate gender, but that the whims of children can be followed to commit permanent physical and hormonal injuries to them.

remember to ask me of Hadon of Ancient Opar
Gilgamesh & Enkidu materialism facilitating escape from mortality
Achilles and Agamemnon deed over material
Stevens and the Panama Canal the children and pebbles of our will
Beowulf & Grendel, the heroic as time travel or planar interloping
Managerialism, bureaucracy
