      I hoped that after taking a week off from the “ethics in mindfulness meditation” debate, it would all make sense. pic.twitter.com/YZpCTM2XQ8

      @Meaningness The primary importance of all systems of ethics is as a point of leverage to enforce group norms.

      @Jayarava Yes… In the case of “Consensus Buddhism,” the norms are mainstream American leftish norms. This gets called “Buddhist ethics…”

      @Jayarava I don’t have much quarrel with the norms, but the pretense that they are Buddhist rubs me the wrong way.

      @Meaningness @Jayarava (not to interrupt - but is there specific ‘secularist’ text or texts you guys are critiquing?)

      @jonathanglick @Jayarava I’m actually critiquing a critique of the secularists (but not defending the secularists). Plague on both houses!

      @jonathanglick @Jayarava http://www.existentialbuddhist.com/2013/12/in-defense-of-mindfulness/ … is a fairly decent statement of the secularist side of the argument

          @jonathanglick @Jayarava The locus classicus for the Buddhist side is http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ron-purser/beyond-mcmindfulness_b_3519289.html … one of the most incoherent rambles I’ve ever

          @Meaningness @Jayarava Much appreciated. This is a closely connected to a conversation I have been having with Dan Harris.
