There seem to be a lot of meditative teachers who are genuinely malicious. I met a meditation teacher today who was nothing but an angry bully towards me despite her attempted veneer of presence. Subtle but intense and conscious anger. Meditation culture is not prepared for them.

A lot of people get into meditation teaching or psychology because they have issues with their own relationship to the world. It is not always possible to work through them in the first ninety years of our life.

It's very difficult to do so without reasoned argument, I agree. And critical argument is seen as evil by a lot of meditative traditions because it hurts for them, basically.

A skilled meditation teacher will usually recognize such a lack of integrity and fix it in themselves. I suspect that your Aspie traits (also apparent in your preference of reasoned argument over a consistent perceptual model) may have triggered a stereotype in your teacher.

Our integrated world model is more perceptual than symbolic. Proving a property of a nonsymbolic model means that it has to achieve stability while propagating all local model states to each other in the right way. If you succeed, you have a richer model than reason can generate.

Is there a place I can read about nonsymbolic models and that condition for proving their properties? I've never heard of either before

The full program was discovered by Hilbert and was prematurely derailed by Gödelsnd Turing, before Turing got it back on track
