      I think that's correct, and I've instinctually known it to be correct, and have wanted very badly to deny that it is correct because it hurts to admit this is the truth.

      People often never learn the skill of self reflection. I am not even sure where one might.

      reading some of David's and Venkat's work is a good start, but you have to be a smarty pants nerd to click with that. I dunno. The right kind of drugs? Mindfulness meditation is really hard to do right but in principle it works too.

      I had read their stuff and partially understood it. Then went back and learned other stuff + some lived experience. After rereading some of their stuff, a lot of it clicked.

      David says that he is very influenced by Heidegger and Dreyfus but I think he's much more influenced Alan Ginsberg and Bob Dylan, and probably Marilyn Manson for that matter.

      Venkat is more in touch with his pop culture influences and the Asimov/Harry Seldon angle is very fascinating. I think it's probably basically Ortega y Gasset (History as a System and Revolt of the Masses in particular) but I've never see him actually reference that.

      but ultimately I never understand their stuff in pure intellect mode either and have to step back, twist my head around, and re-read all the time too.

      I can see the Venkat influences, but how was David influenced by Bob Dylan?

      he would probably say that he isn't. I'll leave it as a riddle.

      Influences aside, you may find Sartre's nausea a useful bridge between Dylanesque and Buddhist phenomenology. It's the low road between east and west where Emerson/Whitman are the high road.

      a truly Buddhist approach would be walking the middle path... (I'll see myself out)

          I set out on the Road to the Western Lands, myself. I don't recommend it. It is by definition the most dangerous road in the world.
