You seem rather influenced by Indian right wing pseudohistory. It's similar to arguing Ayurveda isn't very harmful because it is ancient. An appeal to tradition.

> stacking shit like rocks on top of each other

They still do in India. Cow dung cakes are a rural fuel.

I am not doubting that India is likely the first to write about derealization. But it was mistaken to be the ultimate reality.
