Interesting analogies, both the pre-modern social hierarchy and Evola’s thoughts on men and women. I think it gets to a deeper calling that all people have. Men are distracted from this calling and end up mediocre and unappealing. They are dim moons, not bright suns.
Virtue is key. It’s easy to get caught up on the superficial stuff like money and looks, but these should be byproducts of inner strength and drive. People get this backward and end up regressing into hedonism and excuses. If you see yourself as anything but modern passive consumer, there’s still hope—even for the peasant!—but this doesn’t occur to most guys.
Appreciate the kind words! The way of virtue is hard, but that's what makes it valuable! I've seen many men get caught in the trappings of the fruits of "success" without building anything substantial.
We can all bring out the virtuous light inside of us, but it's gonna be hard and it's gonna take work!
