Teitelbaum, Benjamin R. (21 April 2020). ”20-Deep States” (på engelska). War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers. HarperCollins. ISBN 978-0-06-297847-9. https://books.google.com/books?id=O1WaDwAAQBAJ. ”I was beginning to understand why a reader of Guénon would become a champion of Bolsonaro. Olavo’s focus on Traditionalism’s opposition to modern science, though seemingly an apolitical subject, may have been more relevant to his analysis of political and social life than I first thought. In writing and in conversation he waxes seamlessly from disagreement with the scientific process to dismissal of modern knowledge to criticism of the institutions whose authority rests obliquely on modernist knowledge. It is in that final step when Traditionalism and populism can come together, when we can draw a line between astrology, alchemy, and the president. Not only are Brazil’s media, education system, and government corrupted by money and self-interests in his mind, but they are purveyors of ignorance, too, because of their blind investment in modern science and its inability to account for, let alone value, spirituality. The only immateriality they will admit is the abstractions of mathematics, which themselves serve to confuse as well, Olavo contends. Like Bannon, Olavo finds a trace of solace among the poor and uneducated, those most distanced from institutionalized education and knowledge production. In Brazil as in the United States, they are the keepers of spirit, those who have achieved a measure of community and context otherwise elusive in modernity. They are neither mathematical abstractions nor the bearers of hollow titles granted by hollow modern institutions. They are reality. They are the core.”
