It doesn't necessarily mean that way, if you think about it. Human rationalism would be shunned outside of the West related to this case of checks and balances.

What Rene Guenon would prefer was a mixed system.

For that matter, it's how people prefer one style of values to another while trying to make a best of it functionally and make everyone happy.

That, I can't answer because I have some internal disputes with this. I grew up in more than one cultural environment and I have more than one opinion on this in a nutshell.
