I just read science, not the unsubstantiated metaphysical claims of meditation traditions.

Playing the fantasy of an "omniscient oracle" often seems to be the ego trip of popular meditation gurus today. They are all quite scientifically illiterate.

"You humans"? Have you been meditating so hard that you are now hallucinating yourself as beyond human? I can't say I am surprised.

I studied cognitive science. I know cognitive biases. I also know how meditators around me are basically drowning in them with ridiculous psychic beliefs, laughable arguments and no evidence.

I'll leave you to your imagined irony.


Yet another Perfectly Rational (yet omniscient) Human, the internet is crawling with them! Funny how they all deal primarily if not solely in rhetoric. Coincidence I guess!
