“For me it feels like the practise shift due to growing wisdom towards non-investment” – in this you seem right. Or at least to shift towards selected investment…? On the other hand: one often attaches to much importance to the (im)permanence concept and “polemics”.
Better to reason in terms of “inconsistency” – ultimately what really counts is that which (behavior,attitude,decision) effectively meets the 4 Noble Truths.
The perception of a “I” / “me” (ego) that is, of a psychic entity associated to our body (and vice-versa) it’s not a catastrophe, the problem is when such perception degenerates into egocentric behavior – then soon or later one becomes …helpless…
