Yeah, I liked U.G. too! Is there anything worse than someone who is deadly serious while also being irreverent!?

There's an interview with him on one of those old, actually interesting American talk show on Youtube:

It's much better than the recordings by his various friends and associates, where he mostly comes across as a jerk (without saying much of interest).

Personally, I think U.G. was one of those guys who get so far into presenting as an anti-bullshitter, he eventually developed a complete bullshit personality around it which sometimes distorted his more interesting ideas.
Sort of like Nassim Taleb, today.

UG was, as far as I can tell, a rather loathsome individual.
Also notable that he was a hypocrite who preached a "right way" to view this stuff while decrying all gurus as con men.
That said, he had a point. A good point.
But that doesn't absolve him of his own failings.
