No. I'm saying that Watts and McKenna (specifically Watts and McKenna) are bullshitters, floating along a much deeper and powerful current. As for the actual currents (as partially enumerated), some were true believers, some weren't. Until proven otherwise, I think Guenon was legit--that his ideas were his own, he took both the credit and the blame for them, and gave credit where it was due--as opposed to someone like Blavatsky who was a mascot, or someone like Huxley who was really more of an engineer, but delivering his blueprints in a wrapper of plausible deniability.

Conspiracy or not, I have outlined a genealogy which is easy enough to verify--at the touch of your fingertips.
