The insight from the discussion is the distinction between relative truth and ultimate truth, and how various philosophical systems arrange stages of philosophy to represent different levels of truth.

The discussion also touches on how evolutionary biology and neuroscience have provided explanations for these truths, somewhat different from those presented by Buddhism.
