Yes, nonduality is stupid. It’s stupid in the best possible sense, but stupid nonetheless. If I sat down with a sane, normal person and tried to explain nonduality to them, they’d choke on their laughter. Nonduality is the highest of high philosophies, but even philosophers scoff at it. You’d think it would be ground zero of serious thought in any field, but everyone just skips right past it as if it wasn’t there, which, in a way, it’s not. The irony is that we merry few advaitins would be fully justified in thinking ourselves among the foremost pioneers of courageous human thought, but in the sightless eyes of our plodding herdmates, we are way past Stupid Town and well into Crazyville.
