Have you ever felt a creeping sense that something is fundamentally wrong with our modern world? Despite technological advancements and material progress, are we truly better off? René Guénon, a 20th-century intellectual, argued that we are living in a "Dark Age," a period of profound spiritual and intellectual decline mirroring the Kali Yuga of Hindu tradition. In this video, we delve into Guénon's thought-provoking analysis, exploring the signs of this decline: the reign of quantity over quality, the illusion of progress, the loss of traditional wisdom, the grip of materialism, and the inversion of values. We examine how these forces are shaping our world and discuss the potential for renewal and the role of an intellectual elite in preserving traditional knowledge. Join us for a deep dive into Guénon's challenging yet essential perspective, and let's discuss your thoughts in the comments below! #philosophy #motivation #life #selfimprovement #selfawareness #growth #freedom #democracy #money #wealth #spirituality #wisdom #tradition #knowledge #history #culture #society #modernity #decline #kaliyuga #reneguenon #darkage #materialism #progress #intellectual #truth #meaning #purpose #crisis #future #hope
