Crypto PM. Salon over soapbox. Maybe a metarationalist or something. How do we improve large-scale human collaboration?

Exhibit A: When Buddhist teachings become indistinguishable from brainwash. (Re: Sexual Abuse by Sakyong)pic.twitter.com/S18PBorAQv
I'm deeply confused by this. Is it suggesting that a stance of hard solipsism is a) true b) what Buddhist philosophy teaches and c) excuses unethical behavior? the post is so short that I don't want to read into it too much but all of those absurd falsehoods are implied
All of the above, plus a misunderstanding of "karma".
btw, I think the early Buddhist notion of Karma is, not quite bullshit (that’d be slightly too strong), but rather an extraordinarily limited view of causality.
Yes, I don't think an individualist karma need be "there's a cosmic scorecard of your actions judged under such and such conception of good and evil". It could be more casual: "if you spend a lot of time being angry, your mind and environment will cultivate anger".
Most modern karmic models overlook the cultural & institutional dimensions of causality, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. Post-modern understandings of karma tend to over-stress them, or reduce everything to their relations. Metamodern understandings of karma are emerging...
As Ken Wilber might have said, metamodern (or ‘integral’) understandings of karma must include the inside and outside of the individual and the collective (‘the four quadrants’).
Wilber’s #AQAL theory is a very interesting metamodern contender for looking at karma.
Can you recommend some “metamodernist” accounts to follow on here? I tried doing a search. Hard to parse what the main sources are.
I have a couple in a list called 'Metarationality'
