As I was reading this, I began to notice something;
The author is regurgitating centuries, nay, millenniums-old complaints used by all generations on their way out when they feel that their progeny have somehow "lost touch" with the "good old days". It's nothing but an appeal to vague nostalgia. Like his(I assume he, forgive me if not) bit on how Individualism is somehow a problem and is leading to some creeping breakdown of society. Honestly, this is no different than your standard Republican Presidential Nominee campaign speech, or any other hardcore Conservative/Reactionary platform, just with a coat of Tibetan-Indian paint. It even has an anti-science section, how it has "lost its way", as if somehow discoveries that don't conform to ones' spiritual & theological views are inherently wrong and are to be ignored.
