Unfortunately for Jay however, the conclusions to be drawn from such research don't support dualism

The findings of quantum physics only confirm the ancient wisdom of Vedanta

Like Guénon, Coomaraswamy and Schuon, Ken Wheeler accepts an idea of a perennialism or 'eternal metaphysics' which corresponds to a non-dualism a la Advaita Vedanta or Neoplatonism (all 4 of these people accept the two systems as aligned and in agreeement), and which underlies all the esoteric/wisdom schools throughout history as well as all true or most advanced religous metaphysics. The former three authors all generally focus on Advaita Vedanta and regard it as one of the best explications of this eternal truth; Wheeler differs insofar as he largely references and seems to ground his ideas in Neoplatonism as opposed to Advaita but he namedrops Shankaracharya and Vedantic texts enough in his videos as well as mentioning Coomaraswamy that it's clear he's read the Traditionalists and agrees with their view of the two systems as being the eternal truth behind all philosophy/metaphysics etc.

He studies ancient Pali and in his perspective the original Buddhism taught by Buddha was almost the same if not the exact same teaching in essence as the Advaita teachings existing in the Hindu Upanishads; and that this was misunderstood by almost many later Buddhist schools. In his videos on Buddhism he sometimes cites the Buddhist Pali Canon and talks about how parts of it really agree with Advaita, Neoplatonism etc.

>and is there any relevant commentary on why that stuff would be completely stupid, since it sounds like stupid nonsense to me.
Not really, Vedanta, Neoplatonism etc can't really be 'refuted', either you accept the validity of metaphysics as a valid premise and source of knowledge or you don't. For what it's worth Erwin Schrödinger was a huge fan of Vedanta and wrote in his books about how he believed in it and that it was an accurate description of reality and in agreement with quantum physics. There is also pic related written by a grad student in theoretical physics which talks about some of the many agreements viz Advaita Vedanta and quantum physics.
