Proves that he is a philosophical pervert.

All his verbal ejaculations are just a clever distraction from realizing God.

This is why I hate academic philosophers.

I've never really felt like he was saying anything.

Word salad. Word salad. And the crowd claps and cheers like some earth shattering insight or truth was said.

He does sometimes make insightful points about how ideology works. But as far as the nature of ultimate reality, he is profoundly lost.

@UnbornTao i think there is alot of baggage there that people don't want to look at. Like the hole people feel in them is baggage they are carrying from being seperated from God.

"I do all my work to escape myself. I don't believe in looking into yourself. If you do this, you just discover a lot of shit. The truth is not deep in ourselves. The truth is outside." -- From his Substack newsletter.

Honestly. This is the dumbest quote I’ve ever read. He must not have discovered the Witness Consciousness. If you look at your ego, sure it’s mostly just thinking, but even then, it’s not “shit”. If you realize you are more than your small self you expand into everything and pure spaciousness, freedom. Whereas if you stay outwardly focused you remain distracted. 
 

Sounds like he has some self hate issues too
