I don't agree nor disagree with his writings for a simple reason. He's perception of the universe is a singular view that is beyond most of my comprehension.
It's about like telling Michelangelo that David should have looked to the right instead of the left.
Or telling Leonardo da Vinci that it is obvious the Mona Lisa painting is a thinly disguised self-portrait of himself in drag..
Or telling Mary Shelley she got it wrong, Frankenstein should have had a happy ending...
You can't,, You just sit with your mouth open and wonder..
