Johnson & Johnson has a division in India which owns (or at least did
own) Dabur a manufacturer of ayurvedic remedies. Weird, eh?

Screw Buffett.

Away for a day and the thread moves on to other things. My take on the
wealthy is some people pay attention to some of them, like Warren
Buffet because he has had a rather astounding ability to make money
and is nonetheless perceived as a fairly normal person without a lot
of pretension. As for the 'Mind of the Meditator' my experience is
that over a long period of time, for me, TM has resulted in 'open
monitoring', the technique working in a kind of back door approach. TM
and mindfulness are now essentially identical because there is no
inner/outer dimension to meditation. That would be to say the
techniques, though different in their approach, result in convergent
evolution of experience as far as result. Once open monitoring is
established, TM becomes more effort-full compared to mindfulness
because you actually have to do something to initiate the process
while with open monitoring, you need do nothing. For beginning
meditators this distinction is different for it appears TM is a bit
more efficient in helping people deal with discursive thought which
tends to be rampant with newbie meditators, but this difference
diminishes over time. TM mythology seems less adaptable to scientific
discourse than do certain forms of Buddhist explanations for the
nature of enlightenment, and seems to promote belief in imaginary
ideas beyond what is necessary to get someone interested in
enlightenment, which is much much less than what people imagine it to be.

You have completely departed from reality with this statement. Nobody
gives a toss what millionaires do, their lives are so far removed from
ours that they might as well be alien.
It's like the celebrity obsession the TMO has, so what if some model
or actress does the same sort of meditation, are they really so dumb
they think people go "Wow, such and such does it, I'm gonna give it a
try!" What do they take people for?
They really DO set the trends and fashions of society.
Bullshit. Would you hang out with someone who dressed like Bill Gates?
And of course, when Ray Dalio appears on the stage with Bob Roth, it
makes all sorts of headlines in business journals.
Cultmania. I love it.
