Isn't it just buddhist Anatta? What is the point of trying to re-invent the wheel from scratch?

Even supposing it is, there's quite a bit of fun in reinventing things. Look how often people on this site post a way that they've recreated Lisp, for example.

This stuff is from 1922, the West was not nearly as aware of Buddhist thought back then. Serious study of it only began in the 19th century.
