      I'm deeply confused by this. Is it suggesting that a stance of hard solipsism is a) true b) what Buddhist philosophy teaches and c) excuses unethical behavior? the post is so short that I don't want to read into it too much but all of those absurd falsehoods are implied

      All of the above, plus a misunderstanding of "karma".

      btw, I think the early Buddhist notion of Karma is, not quite bullshit (that’d be slightly too strong), but rather an extraordinarily limited view of causality.

      Replying to @VincentHorn @danlistensto

      Yes, I don't think an individualist karma need be "there's a cosmic scorecard of your actions judged under such and such conception of good and evil". It could be more casual: "if you spend a lot of time being angry, your mind and environment will cultivate anger".

          In any case, do the teachings advocate not showing compassion for or taking action on behalf of those with bad karma? That's more what I was getting at. (Not that you were implying that, of course. I think the post was.)

          Yes, that’s a fairly modern interpretation of karma. It typically explores the inner experience of the individual through a single life.

          It's pretty interesting how differently fundamental Buddhist teachings look if we take the view that there's only this lifetime. After all, the whole point of the project was to prevent future lifetimes!

          Most modern karmic models overlook the cultural & institutional dimensions of causality, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. Post-modern understandings of karma tend to over-stress them, or reduce everything to their relations. Metamodern understandings of karma are emerging...

          As Ken Wilber might have said, metamodern (or ‘integral’) understandings of karma must include the inside and outside of the individual and the collective (‘the four quadrants’). Wilber’s #AQAL theory is a very interesting metamodern contender for looking at karma.

          Can you recommend some “metamodernist” accounts to follow on here? I tried doing a search. Hard to parse what the main sources are.

          Are metamodern folks in dialogue with integral folks? Are they overlapping communities at all? I haven’t heard the term metamodern until just recently.

          Yes there seem to be a lot of similarities, especially regarding developmental frameworks. I think the main differences are that #metamodernism is more secular, more political, and more comfortable with (and accounts for) post-modernism.

          (THREAD) I just watched @rustyrockets interview @jordanbpeterson, and want to say that—among my many objections to Peterson—I resent his framing retrograde cultural philosophies as post-postmodern.

          Yes, David Chapman drew out a similar distinction in his presentation of the Dzogchen view of karma on the Approaching Aro site.

          There's a long-form allegorical presentation of that interpretation in Roach's "The Garden" parable as well

          well, yeah, though Roach's mistakes seem much less severe than McNally's. regardless, his writing on the subject was a good read even though I'd never want to actually be the man's student.
