1. This "conceptual untethering" is the core of Advaita nondual practice as well.

I wrote a very recent post on my take about it here:

I mention in a self-reply that Nisargadatta's famous book "I Am That" is entirely based around presenting the false beliefs that keep us hooked to the programmed outer world, with Nisargadatta "unhooking" each concept, one by one, in his answers. In 500 pages, he covers most of the false concepts that keep us hooked up to the outer world.

Actually, when it comes down to it, all our concepts are false, in that they're purely mental constructions, and so cannot be true in any way.

I've found my spiritual home at last in Advaita. The seeker has stopped.


On edit: I also put up a post about how this practice of discovering who you are not can be used by people who are in despair over various problems in the world:
