Eastern is largely better. I recommend reading Guenon's 'Intro to Hindu Doctrines' and then branching out.

(The Bhagavad-Gita is also probably better than anything Homer wrote.)

No it doesn't. It might produce a particular society opposed to your values though, any decent Western philosopher will too. If your measure is that it doesn't agree with my culture and beliefs then you don't know what philosophy is and you should kill yourself, fucking ape.
