Good to know! Olavo de Carvalho is kinda of a controversial figure here in Brazil, mainly due to his youtube videos who seem to attract much controversy.
I haven't seem them yet, but it seems that he touches on some very delicate topics on his lectures.

I'll let my friends and interested people know.

Yeah, I noticed that.

From Wikipedia:

Olavo Luiz Pimentel de Carvalho (born 29 April 1947[1]) is a Brazilian philosopher, journalist and essayist whose interests include historical philosophy, astrology, the history of revolutionary movements, specialist in Kremlinology, the traditionalist school, comparative religion, psychology and philosophical anthropology. He is also well known in Brazil for his conservative political stances, and for being a vehement critic of the political Left. ...

Now living in the United States, in the state of Virginia, Carvalho is an international correspondent and writes a weekly column for the Brazilian newspaper Diário do Comércio. He teaches philosophy on an online course to over 2000 students. ...

Olavo de Carvalho is mostly known for his theory of the revolutionary mind. ...

Carvalho rejects Karl Popper's open society for "not recognizing any transcendent values and by leaving everything at the mercy of economic conveniences ... According to him, Christian values protect the free market system, not the other way around.

In some works, Olavo de Carvalho attempts a criticism of mechanicism, strongly criticizing Isaac Newton, Galileo and Rene Descartes. Using the Inertia Law as example, he explains how a heedless adherence to it leads to inherent contradictions when lacking a traditional metaphysics. Moreover, according to him, "Galileo and Newtons's science belittled the observation of natural phenomena in favour of formulating mathematical models with no relation to empirical reality".

Carvalho also opposes to astronomers and scientists in general who refuse the possibility of the correspondences seen in astrology becoming an object of scientific study, seeing in this refusal a partisan attitude. "There is a structural correspondence between the position of the stars in the sky at the time of a person's birth and his character. This can be verified".

Another target of his criticism is darwinism. ...

Carvalho accused Georg Cantor of confusing "numbers with their mere symbols" in his works about transfinite numbers, and calls his math a "play on words" and a "false logic".

He hold an on-line debate with Alexander Dugin in 2011. Conclusion? They couldn't find a common ground. Here is a blog set up for this particular reason (in English)

I used to read the original book aloud for some friends interested in the work, but had to stop due to time constraints. They waited many, many years for this book, so the least I can do is to let them know the wait is over!
