@bibliolater @philosophy And scientific, too, dubious scientific foundations, https://neurosciencenews.com/mindfulness-problem-14196/
Mindfulness can also make people more selfish, https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210813-how-mindfulness-could-make-you-selfish
And tend to lubricate the capitalist treadmill, https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210813-how-mindfulness-could-make-you-selfish
@bibliolater @philosophy The excellent Guardian article by Ronald Purser ends:
"The cruelty lies in supporting the status quo while using the language of transformation. This is how neoliberal mindfulness promotes an individualistic vision of human flourishing, enticing us to accept things as they are, mindfully enduring the ravages of capitalism."
But do read the whole article!
