That cover photo is 🔥👌. Furthermore, René Guénon is the GOAT. Will look forward to listening to this sometime in the coming days. (Also, damn, you covered a lot in just on hour!!)

Wow, it’s hard to believe people like this really exist. Great interview though.

John's life is like that of a British adventurer from the 1800s who wrote a famous diary

> the rise of Hindu nationalism in a recent decades have kind of pre-programmed them in a similar way

Yeah, and it's pretty gross. Fundamentalism of all kinds is distasteful, especially when it spreads to the low-IQs and chuds.

I have to assume that this is a troll comment, but if it is not: I’m awestruck that you listened to a podcast where two guys talk deeply about Orthodox Judaism, Sufism, perrenialist-informed Hinduism, Isma'ilism, and Hellenism – and then didn’t even blink to make the claim that they should both just follow the Bible. Either you are incredibly courageous, or incredibly foolish.

> atheism is a strong belief (rather than the absence of one)

No, that is your assumption about what the word atheism means. Atheism in colloquial terms is used to refer to both agnostic atheism (unconvinced that God exists) and gnostic atheism (convinced that God doesn't exist). That Christians in particular, usually, tend to make this definitional mistake automatically interpret atheism to mean this is more of a sign as how they see rebellion against their worldview.

Knowing Walt, and especially how open-minded he is, he is most certainly agnostic in this sense. Indeed, he always says that the is too autistic or rationalistic to understand spirituality proper, not that he rejects it. What he means is that he lacks the radio antenna that can pick up on the proper frequency of what you and accede to. And I'm sure most of the people who've tried to teach him how to develop it have done a ridiculously poor job of it.

However, your marketing is advice is apt, and perhaps needed given that he sometimes does not understand how he alienates the Christians. That's something to work on.
