Gautama Buddha

genuinely singular

The Merciless Cartographer

Insists that the only reliable unit of moral causation is the individual mind — and that every social, cosmological, and ethical problem dissolves the moment this is accepted, which means the writing is less a philosophy than a sustained refusal to find anything wrong with the world that cannot be corrected by looking inward.
