hi! I was doing some random internet browsing and ran across this article, with the mildly misleading title, “Why Buddhism is true: Robert Wright on the wisdom of mindfulness meditation.” It won’t try and convert you to Buddhism (I’m not a Buddhist, and evidently Buddhism actively encourages against conversion), rather it discusses Buddhist techniques in meditation that are supposed to attack the “illusion of self.” Anyway. There are some interesting parts in there that relate to this course material (dualism stuff). Give it a read if you have some time and are interested! 🙂
