Dimes and Judas discuss the book Reign of Quantity & The Signs of the Times by René Guénon, focusing primarily on Western civilization’s disassociation with the spiritual and metaphysical world – and the interplay of dependency between them – and its separation from everyday life and action, ushering in what Guénon calls the Reign of Quantity (as opposed to the Reign of Quality) and how this manifests in the sundowning of a civilization and how our signs and rites of deeper value become permitted parodies within the redefined and totally materialistic “everyday life.”
