So a perspective on the nature of the universe is invalidated by having an internal struggle?

Can you explain which part of his philosophy sounds “technically sound” but he clearly isn’t living up to?

And also what does it mean to live up to a philosophy? Do you “live up” to the idea that the universe is a so and so (fill your own beliefs in here)?

If you started drinking more than your friends would like, would that invalidate your opinion about the universe in some way?
