      @VincentHorn … which is not the goal of *most* contemporary Americans. So it’s the wrong tool for the job *they* want done!

      @Meaningness : I disagree that the Sutric Buddhism you're describing and the insight & mindfulness movements are all that similar.

      @VincentHorn > for people who are world-affirming; and whether the empirical dangers of vipassana practice come from a mismatch there.

      @Meaningness : The problem is you have a very skewed and incomplete view of those scenes.

      @VincentHorn I do think it’s important that beginners understand that secular mindfulness practice is not risk-free. Is that usually taught?

      @Meaningness : It really depends on the person/group teaching I imagine. That said, I doubt it's mentioned much in the mindfulness movement.

      @VincentHorn and (2) theoretical question, which is whether this derives from the mismatch between renunciate and affirmative goals.

      @Meaningness : In my experience much of the modern vipassana movement has already adapted to be life-affirming and has been for many years.

      @VincentHorn Yes; but to me it seems this leaves it theoretically incoherent—there isn’t an explanation of how the path leads to the goal.

      @Meaningness : That's not my experience at all, because the goal is changed! There isn't some static goal, it's a living/changing thing.

      @VincentHorn Is it possible that you are issuing an overly-broad (or insufficiently precise) criticism of my criticism? :-)

          @Meaningness : Of course it's certainly possible. I've definitely taken personally the way you approach the criticism.
