I've been sitting quietly in a room alone for months, it will likely be a year before it's done. I'm able, I'm OK with it. The Daoist/Bonpa[1] base qigong I've studied, along with other practices (Alexander technique, self-hypnosis, NLP, etc.etc), has prepared me for this. But it hasn't solved all my problems, I wouldn't expect it to and I have a hunch that this kind of simplistic formula is something like a weakness of the "Western" (philosophical) outlook. I understand that the "inability" stateme involve an effort to cast a spotlight on many people's inability to attain something like a "meditative mindset". If that's all you want to do, fine. But you houldn't take awareness, a contemplative mindset, and so-forth as the answer to everything. It's much closer to starting to explore the question, having sufficient tools to explore human existence, etc. Indeed, I'd say "humans are capable of sitting alone quiet in a room alone and it is the ignorance of a given person that prevents this. But to overcome your ignorance, you probably have to leave your room". TL;DR; this kind of claim is more like taunting the unenlightened than helping.
