Kantbot is a grifting faggot. Fuck off.

His takes have been dumb as fuck ever that documentary and your attempts to pivot into a new, more palateable persona.

They used to be genuinely good, but now he sounds butthurt all the time.

Seraphim Rose is the best critique of the "eastern religion is evil!" crowd, however.

The man was a gay prostitute who went out to a cave to smoke crack, drop acid, and get drunk all at once, because that's what "eastern religion" is all about. He did so, and had a bad trip. He then adopted Russian Orthodoxy.

So, right off the bad, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, which we can say is a good representation of "Asian Religion", all disagree with the idea of homosexuality, prostitution, and homosexual prostitution. They also all disagree with the idea of smoking crack and dropping acid, and while they don't all agree that drinking is ALWAYS bad, they would all agree that drinking alone in a cave for pleasure is bad during the middle of the day is always bad. So, the actual experience that Seraphim Rose had to turn him away from eastern religion is actually an endorsement of the religions of the East. He did what they said not to do because it will be bad, and it was bad, so he proved them right.

Secondly, he never actually stopped chasing after "eastern religion", he just goes a little less far east. He still fetishized a foreign culture (Russian Orthodoxy) over some kind of native spirituality or whatever. He just finally picked one and actually engaged with it, something he did not do with Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or Hinduism. This is a big critique actual Russians have of him: he's just a gay druggy who LARPed as a Siberian woodsman..

So yes, he's a great example of why fetishization of foreign cultures is bad, but he has absolutely nothing to say on actual religion and the engagement with religion.

i don't know why but until this sentence i thought you were telling us a parable, "there once was a man who was a gay prostitute who went out to a cave to smoke crack..."

His critiques of eastern traditions are embarrassingly bad, it’s basically just some boomer-tier “i-it makes me feel weird and muh satanic looking statues”. There was no real engagement with the ideas he is trying to criticize.
