Evola is a bit of a sperg when it comes to his philosophical positions, and as to what he actually identifies as metaphysics. The pragmatic approach is always superior with respect to women.

Nah, it's actually the greatest instruction manual on how to bed women ever conceived by the human mind.

Women rate men on two scales, the good guy scale and the lust meter. Aggressive assholes who are intelligent, dominant, and physically imposing to other men fill up the lust meter. Mr. Darcy is that man; uncouth, crude, pomp, arrogant, but also confident, intellectually dominant, and physically aggressive at the drop of a hat with men who challenge him. Mr. Bingley is the nice guy who's socially graceful, charming, lacks intimidation factors, is suave with women and men alike, to the point he and Darcy are actually friends ... this complicates things for the women because surely Mr. Bingley must be tough to have earned the friendship of Mr. Darcy, but Mr. Darcy must also be sensitive and poetic to have earned the respect of Mr. Bingley.

The entire book is running you through the thought processes behind a woman who's been tasked with making the decision between turning the good guy bad, which would be a shock to her purity, or turning the bad guy good, which feeds into her natural femininity. It's a beauty and the beast story, fundamentally. I haven't finished it, but I'm gonna guess Elizabeth goes with Mr. Darcy.

>"The Selfish Gene was extremely popular when first published, causing "a silent and almost immediate revolution in biology",[19] and it continues to be widely read. It has sold over a million copies and has been translated into more than 25 languages.[20] Proponents argue that the central point, that replicating the gene is the object of selection, usefully completes and extends the explanation of evolution given by Charles Darwin before the basic mechanisms of genetics were understood. "

>"In July 2017, a poll to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Royal Society science book prize listed The Selfish Gene as the most influential science book of all time.[3]"

>"The Royal Society, formally The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge,[1] is a learned society and the United Kingdom's national academy of sciences. The society fulfils a number of roles: promoting science and its benefits, recognising excellence in science, supporting outstanding science, providing scientific advice for policy, education and public engagement and fostering international and global co-operation. Founded on 28 November 1660, it was granted a royal charter by King Charles II as The Royal Society and is the oldest continuously existing scientific academy in the world.[2]"

Hmmmmm.

>The most badly written

This reveals the extent to which, in all Western societies and particularly in the most advanced segments represented by the New Age movement, there had been an acceptance of the idea that a fundamental shift was indispensable if society was to survive—a shift which would credibly restore a sense of community, of permanence and of the sacred. It is also a measure of how little the public understood or cared about questions of philosophy. The global ridicule in which the works of Foucault, Lacan, Derrida and Deleuze had suddenly foundered, after decades of inane reverence, far from leaving the field clear for new ideas, simply heaped contempt on all those intellectuals active in the “human sciences.” The rise to dominance of scientists in all fields of thought became inevitable.
-Michel Houellebecq

Can you really disagree with him here?
