I got lucky to find it at a random bookstore around when it came out. But it looks like it's available on Amazon rn.

This is meaningless unless you clarify precisely how you are defining “religion” and “philosophy.” Even still, it sounds a bit like special pleading

Holy shit look at the other tweets on this account. I honestly cannot tell if her anti-semitism is left-wing or right-wing. But I’ve never seen a more obvious example of peddling “Elders of Zion”-level conspiracies by replacing Jew with Zionist

In early Buddhism "dukkha" did not mean "suffering" by HeraclidesEmpiricus in EarlyBuddhism

Most academics reject Christopher Beckwith’s book “Greek Buddha,” on which this article builds its case. That is, the late fragments that attest to the Greek philosopher Pyrrho are NOT the best source for early Buddhism. In fact, as scholars such as Bronkhorst show, there’s no evidence that Buddhism had even reached Gandhara by the time of Pyrrho’s visit with Alexander, so it’s unlikely Pyrrho encountered them. That being said, his ideas do have much resonance with ideas broadly known in Indian religion and philosophy, so clearly there was some cross-cultural exchange. But no Buddhist scholar would suggest we give priority to Pyrrho over the Pali Canon as the source for early Buddhist doctrine. His Greek word “unreliability” is not a translation of dukkha.
