You found it valuable despite:

1. There being no evidence provided to support the claims.

2. The author being a well-known cultish demagogue willing to say anything to get your attention.



The author was saying something philosophical. It wasn't a question of correctness (philosophy isn't real enough to be judged so) but a question of well-spokenness. I found it a well-written peace which offered interesting insight. None of that requires evidence, and none of that depends on author intent. I had (and still have) no idea who the author is, and found it a good piece nonetheless.
