I agree. He makes some very good points, but weakens his argument by talking out of his ass about subjects (i.e., "Eastern Meditation") he clearly knows nothing about.
I can't speak about the whole of "Eastern Meditation", if there is such a thing-- but I happen to be taking a graduate course right now on Buddhist Meditation, and I can tell you that the breadth and variety of meditation techniques within the Buddhist tradition is staggering, and that a large number of them don't involve "meditating on nothing."
