lol @ conflating meditation and yoga with slavery and infanticide. Hard to take the rest of this seriously.
Look at all texts with skepticism and practice reflective equilibrium, sure. That includes all modern texts.
- FabHK 10y agoI chose these simple, extreme examples to avoid being misunderstood again, because you brought up a complete straw man ("You're saying don't practice until we're 100% sure they're beneficial?") when I said nothing of that sort, so I assumed you might have a certain proclivity for misunderstanding things. Looks like I was right. Needless to say, I am not conflating yoga and slavery, just highlighting that both were prevalent millennia ago, thus demonstrating that this fact alone is not strongly indicative of something being good.
- djtriptych 10y agoNot a strawman; you took an extreme position: no credence to ancient folk wisdom.
