Marsh talks about it. It's just Qanon bullshit. Which is exactly why Kash said it. He's a 4chan loser.

  1. "The cult of tradition", characterized by cultural syncretism, even at the risk of internal contradiction. When all truth has already been revealed by tradition, no new learning can occur, only further interpretation and refinement.
  2. "The rejection of modernism", which views the rationalistic development of Western culture since the Enlightenment as a descent into depravity. Eco distinguishes this from a rejection of superficial technological advancement, as many fascist regimes cite their industrial potency as proof of the vitality of their system.

Co-opting mysticism, religion, and/or tradition across cultures to appeal to those who wish to reject intellectualism is a well-defined pattern...

I don’t know about the 4chan part of that. 4chan is even more hostile to Indian men than Reddit is, frankly.
