The speaker views Buddhism as focused on subjective experience and adapting to reality, rather than investigating the foundations of physical reality.

“So this is the inside perspective, right? And Buddhism, to me, is limited to this inside perspective because Buddhism is, uh, has been invented at a time where people were focusing very much on the experience of reality and how to adapt to this reality, but not how to split the atom, how to deal with the reality at the lowest level, at the foundations of physical reality.”
