Well, in my experience when someone goes on and on about how no one can tell them what to do, they are rebelling against something.

Ok, fair enough, I get it. And what impact is your activism having? Can you point to specific metrics on the number of folks who you've helped extricate themselves from such situations? Whose benefit is it for, really?
-
I'm not an activist. I work for my own benefit, and by improving myself, hopefully improve others who interact with me by being a kinder, wiser, more compassionate person.
-
Ok, that's a nice and noble goal. I applaud you for it. But I do think my point has been made. This rebelling against authority is usually for our own benefit. It's tribal in-group identification, and a type of virtue signaling, at its best.

I think I've heard the Canadian psychologist say something almost exactly like that

Sorry to be so challenging here, I guess I find myself in a position of rebelling against the rebels. I'm interested in helping meditators wake up and move through the malaise of deconstructive post-modernism.
-
I think that's a worthy goal. Deconstructive PoMo is not my own personal challenge. Mine is figuring out how I can form lasting, positive relationships with people in ways that work for me.
-
And even though this exchange has been challenging, I view it as positive. Being able to have this discussion is only possible because we both respect and trust each other. Thank you.

Agreed.
