You didn't say anything. Why is he overrated?
I'm sorry, but your post is basically a critique of form, not of content.
>The majority of the books he recommends I sincerely doubt he has even read.
Opinion, to which you are entitled of course.
>A number of them I can tell from his description that he has indeed not read them, or he glanced through the table of contents at bare minimum.
Perhaps he hasn't. But I think we should talk about what he writes, not what he reads (or pretends to).
>His material itself is unnecessarily complex in its arrangement. Instead of cutting to the meat of the matter in terms of similarities between traditions, he just throws it all together in one big mess just relabeling it with his own buzzwords.
OK, his form is unnecessarily complex in your opinion (I found it refreshingly straightforward btw, but that my opinion).
>On top of that, every every conspiracy theory imaginable is mixed in with it.
Yes. But this again is not evidence of anything. It could be that he mixed all of them in order to appeal to everybody. It could also be that these theories are all rooted in some truth.
All in all your reason is faulty if that's all you got for claiming he's wrong (or overrated).
I'm not claiming the contrary. I'm trying to make up my mind. That's why I asked you to elaborate.
But it seems you made up your mind without really thinking much.
