I think you’re reacting to a tone, not content.
I absolutely do not mean anything like “Don’t trust yourself, trust this instead.” I never mean anything like that.
I do mean not to trust the mind though. And for reasons you can come to see for yourself.
And people who are highly, highly fused with their minds can’t easily tell the difference.
That said, I applaud the algorithm. Something not feeling good is great reason not to engage with it.
Just remember that that’s a fact about your relationship to the thing, not a fact about the thing.
Yes, this is correct.
