    Yes. As a theorist it frustrates me that some think theoretical work is only valid if proven true. IMHO, lot of theory work is about building understand over time. Some of it might be proven incorrect, but more important is that understanding improves gradually.

    Same can be said about much of science. Falsification of well-specified theories is misleading. In many domains, such theories are over-specified theories in that commitment to many aspects is premature. Theories are more like broad intellectual projects or directions.

    Now the situation is interestingly reversed. Sutra has escaped the monasteries! Just as Tantra was not well suited to monastic life, Sutra is maladapted to ordinary, communal activity. Designed for tightly controlled social environments, Sutric practice fails in predictable ways.

    Eventually, the monastic and political elite co-opted Buddhist Tantra into systems of governance and social control. Tantra was tamed, made respectable and safe, scrubbed and washed then dressed up for formal occasions in Sutric clothing.

    Hardcore, renunciative Sutric practice was, historically, mostly confined to monasteries. By contrast, Tantra was originally practiced by outcast types. It challenged convention, messed with politics, refused to submit to the tepid mediocrity of stultified social niceties.

    21/ Vacuous paradox tends towards Monist Eternalism, it’s a way of smoothing over difficult differences

    There’s nothing wrong with trauma. It’s the pathologization of trauma that really messes with people. It’s everyone acting like trauma is something terrifying that they’ll never be able to deal with. If you get to believe that you’re helpless, you’ll become helpless indeed.
