So humans being imperfect, stupid creatures negates anything else this person may have to say?

The idea that Buddhist teachers should be some kind of perfect being is utterly false, and to be fair, if you ever thought so or believed someone when they claimed to be such a one; perhaps buddhism wasn’t so suitable for you anyway.

The goal is not to become some kind of zen droid. Quite the opposite.

Humans are just naked apes, no need to judge that harshly.

Having sex and drinking alcohol is fine in my mind, since i don't believe in religious morals.

Cognitive dissonance makes it possible to preach one thing and do another. We call it hypocrisy no?
