You might also check out r/SneerClub- probably the most vociferous critics of the Rationalist movement out there. I also highly recommend Neoreaction: A Basilisk by Elizabeth Sandifer.
And yeah, he totally has an early-stage cult going. It's pretty gross.
I have seven years of university schooling and no degree, lol. Three in History/Literature, four in Geology. I've also kept up a pretty much relentless program of self-education since my mid-twenties. (Which, definitely inferior to graduate or post graduate school, but pretty handy for a fiction writer like myself, where breadth of study is more useful than depth.)
I wrote The Enchanter! https://www.amazon.com/Enchanter-Journals-Evander-Tailor-Book-ebook/dp/B09VNDHW49
Book 2 is gonna be out in a few months, and I'll also start doing a unique project called Mana Mirror on my patreon once it's out!
