Well, I’m significantly more confident that at least one is wrong than about any particular one being wrong. That being said:
It seems wrong to claim that meditation tells people the causes of mental processes. You can often learn causal models from observations, but it’s tricky, and my guess is that people don’t do it automatically.
I don’t think that most people implicitly act like they need to avoid mental experiences.
I don’t know if ‘suffering’ is the right word for what painful experiences cause, but it sure seems like they are bad and worth avoiding.
My guess is that unsatisfactoriness is not a fundamental aspect of existence.
That being said, there’s enough wiggle room in these claims that the intended meanings would be things that I’d agree with, and I also think that there’s a significant shot that I’m wrong about all of the above.
I’d be interested in you going into the details of which claims seem wrong and why.
