    In Buddhist sytems, concept formation is one of the senses, like smell, taste etc. It’s an interface. When I hear people being anti-intellectual it sounds so weird, like it would if they were being anti-touch or anti-hearing. Anti-intellectual Buddhists are the funniest.

        I think astronomy demonstrates this interestingly. You have a visual sense: you look at something, although with a telescope. But also intelligence, i.e. data analysis, widens the range of what can be learned from a simple observation.

        Yes, nice analogy. Trying to dissociate from any inter-relational faculty misses the point. Anti-intellectualism is a peculiarly perverted form of virtue signalling.

        Yes. Sadly a common thing with so-called "spiritual" people - including a number of Buddhists. Meeting Buddhists and being a professional scientist can lead to weirdly dismissive social attitudes. Particularly with very Mahayoga-oriented people.

        I mean, my sangha, being a student of Lamas Bar-ché & Mé-sèl, is quite ok. However, I come across it when trying to get to know other Buddhists like here in Taiwan now.

        How long will you be in Taiwan? Is it a temp or long-term contract?

        This is a 2+2 year contract. Fairly long as far as postdocs go.

        I think of them as equal to people who use the internet to denounce science, Although there is the crossover group...

        I take your point & find it helpfully productive to appreciate mentation as another sense-faculty. But I'm reminded w "concept formation" that in Middle English- the language of the Western contemplative text The Cloud of Unknowing- the way one spelled "concept" was "conceit."🙂
