WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Because I am excited about Capriles' work, and being myself a practitioner of Dzogchen teachings transmitted by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu rinpoche I like very much the attempt to use this standpoint for looking at Western philosophy, ideology and more or less hidden metanarrations that drive our society at this time. I belive it could be useful for others too.
