(EDIT. unified nomenclature)
Same thing in buddhism. If I quote a thing that makes no sense to me or anybody, it's legit because a famous teacher said it. But if I just freestyle my own observation, that's a no no.
That's speaking from a certain perspective on that stuff.
There's a whole world of strangeness that popular culture, science etc does not satisfyingly address. So they look elsewhere.
Sometimes you see things.
Yeah, it's pretty fucked up
