However, "self esteem" as a psychologically distinct and measurable phenomenon certainly exists. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.

Yeah, it's stupid. By his reasoning, every single emotion is a meaningless fabrication. All meaning is meaningless fabrication. Nonsense.

These ideas are based on reasoning that emotions/meaning/etc. must be cashed out by some higher force but that leads to an infinite regress.

If an emotion only exists in your mind and isn't cashed out by external forces, it's still meaningful bc our minds are the source of meaning

Self-esteem is a positive attitude toward the self. Maybe he has achieved a state of fully realized consciousness where the self just is?
-
I was thinking that as well. He has transcended ego and self altogether?

Yes - there is no evaluator of the self and no self to be evaluated. Gate, Gate, Paragate, Para Sam gate Bodhi svaha http://bit.ly/2vYUmD3
