This doesn't deal with meditation as a whole but with a specific variant. The one shilled by corporations and removed from spirituality that niggers like Sam Harris love so much.

As long as Buddhists continue to write cringe fake "refutations" that don't actually make any arguments or refute anything I will gladly call them out on their bullshit and expose them. If I succeed in steering away enough spiritual aspirants from the catastrophe that is Buddhism I may be rewarded by the very Gods themselves for my noble efforts.

Wrong, from it's adoption by Chinese merchants in the first millenium to today, Buddhism has always been the province of deracinated and rootless automatons

read this. Then take the free "Demystifying Mindfulness" course on coursera. It has free meditation "labs" that provide guides on meditation, what to expect, how to build a working routine, etc. It's neither entirely bullshit nor necessarily spiritual. It's also extremely overhyped by a multi-million dollar industry. This book or "Altered States" (an examination by scientists of what's actually proven and what isn't) will help you learn the difference and benefit of mindfulness without being scammed

Bought this for my mother who teaches psychotherapy and works closely with nu mindfulness.
