The Traditionalist viewpoint as described by Julius Evola is, in a nutshell:
1) Accept that the downward trajectory cannot be stopped or reversed. It must play out.
2) Build yourself up spiritually, become a master of yourself, cultivate non-attachment. Do not allow the happenings of the world to destabilize you.
3) Work to serve Justice and Truth, regardless of whether you win or lose. Fight because it's the right thing to do, because you are the kind of person who cannot do any less, no matter the cost or reward.
This question about what do we DO, practically, always seems to assume a change to be made, an outcome to be achieved. How do we force the external world to shift from point A to point B?
Traditional man doesn't try to figure out how to get to a certain outcome. Traditional man focuses on what he must do to live with honour and integrity, regardless of circumstances. Traditional man is focused on creating the Golden Age within himself because he knows that people with Kali Yuga souls can never manifest a Golden Age.
The only real prescription for the malaise is the transcendent quest. But this is not the answer that people attached to outcomes like to hear. First, break the attachment.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 213.12 points or 0.6%, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite ended little changed.
Should I buy bitcoin?
“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
