2/2 some phenomena are concept-dependent (that doesn't mean they are concepts): love, games and yes, awakening are, in my view, concept-dependent phenomena

I can't say whether you should care, since I don't know you. The title comes from people assuming I am, given my work, and from my philosophical dissatisfaction with modern Buddhist ideas. If you care about Buddhism in today's world, then I'd say, yes, you should care.

Nope, I'm not reducing samadhi to language games: I don't say that samadhi is just a way of using words. As for Laruelle, I don't find any illumination there.

One more thing: I don't say there can't be non-linguistic modes of experience, but whether they count as awakening is a conceptual matter and isn't inherent/intrinsic to them

So, now you are just caricaturing what I'm saying. If you really want to know what I think, then you'll have to read what I actually say.

I'm willing to take another look--if I can find time given everything else there is to read--but so far my attempts have not been rewarding.

Really great interview in lionsroar. I would praise it more but want to avoid "exceptionalizing" the ideas contained within.
