It's no more dense or abstruse than the introductory philosophy text I've started reading. Yeah, it might take you a try or two to understand what they're saying, but that in and of itself isn't a very strong case against the article. In fact, the writer actually agrees with you, in a sense, in that second sentence. He mentions that the piece is strictly anecdotal and should be taken with a grain of salt, and that you shouldn't burn too much time on this stuff because there are limits to what you can achieve. Maybe you should give the article another go. You might learn something new, or at least have wasted your time in an engaging way.
