All great books will have little reactionary bits of wisdom like this one scattered throughout. It's impossible to love a topic, write about it sincerely, and avoid doing this.

True understanding requires proper hierarchy — the acknowledgment that some thoughts, some traditions, some ways of seeing are simply better than others. When you deeply engage with any subject, you inevitably encounter the reality that some approaches work and others fail, that some methods endure while others collapse, that wisdom accumulates in certain patterns that modern thought tries desperately to deny.

Look at any master writing about their craft — whether it's cooking, carpentry, physics, or music. They'll eventually reveal truths about proper order and right relationship that sound strange to modern ears. Not because they're politically motivated, but because these truths are inevitable when you truly understand anything.

The cook must acknowledge the authority of heat and timing. The master carpenter must bow before the truth of grain and growth rings. The physicist submits to immutable natural laws. The musician yields to the mathematical truth of harmonics. Each, in their own way, discovers that reality has an order that must be respected rather than revolutionized.

Even the most progressive author, if they genuinely love and understand their subject, will accidentally stumble into eternal truths. The very act of mastery requires acknowledging better and worse, higher and lower, proper and improper order.

The more deeply someone understands and loves their field, the more likely they are to accidentally speak truth that sounds reactionary to modern ears — not from political conviction, but from direct encounter with the way things actually are.
