What's over-simplified about that statement? That's a perfect summary of Buddhism - it encompasses the point completely without going into techniques.

- branweb 7y agoI think it's oversimplified because there would need to be a long explanation on what is meant by "self", which the commentor very wisely put in scare quotes. To the parent: actually I think this "death of decoherence" pretty closely matches the Buddhist doctrine of interdependent arising, so not sure about the disagreement there.
