I don’t ask Buddhist people about this because they would just say that it is right, you don’t ask Buddhists about the truth of their claims just like you don’t ask Christians about theirs, you get an outside perspective.

Which is exactly what Tee described and many have done, including myself. Buddhism was an outside perspective to mainstream Protestantism which was an outside perspective to more conservative versions of religion that I didn’t even really consider. Ultimately, you are the only perspective that counts for you, keeping in mind that the billions of people who came here before you shape who you are. If you aren’t regularly checking anything you do from an objective point of view, then you are not thinking critically. If you do too little of that, you’ll find yourself in a jungle somewhere holding a gun for someone, not sure how you got there.

The “outside perspective” you avoid is that many people just consider these questions interesting, like the “hard problem of consciousness”. https://allthatsinteresting.com/unsolved-problems
