Do you agree with Alan Watts philosophies? Especially the ones about society and fitting in?
>>
>>537931039
Wasn't this guy a massive hypocrite who had many failed relationships and daily contradictions in regards to his own philosophical views?
>>
>>537931199
He's not a guru, he's just a human
>>
>>537931039
I wish white people adopted a dharmic religion and not judaism 2.0.
>>
Seraphim Rose (former student of Watts) gave him a respectful takedown.

>>537931199
Yeah.

>>537931252
He died miserably.
>>
>>537931320
When I listen to his talks they resonate with me, they verbalize what I have in my mind
>>
Alan Watts is the fucking greatest
>>
>>537931390
I listened to a lot of them in my 20s because there is a LOT of truth in them, but that path is ultimately dead end. It didn't end well for Watts either.
>>
>>537931819
He's so logical with his talks
>>
>>537931039
He preached but couldnt do it
In theory everything he said made sense apart that yoga meditaion shit for retarded women

he described himself as a philosophic entertainer. he says stuff that appeals to the "i'm not like the other people" part of our psyche, but ultimately he offers no positive example of what people should be doing. it's the same criticism without offering any ideas for improvements that have been used to destroy our traditions. he talks about work being oppressive, if your work is oppressive then find a different job, but any job, even one you love, will be oppressive at times. anyway i used to really like his stuff and it is fun, but in a "i am 19-24 and i like psychedelics and i am so much more enlightened than all these lemmings around me" kind of way. once you start participating in society all the whimsical "what if things could be better and we didn't have the mundanity of daily necessity and earning money" starts to seem like a bunch of childish utopia drivel. which it is.
>>
>>537931199
Yes. He was also an alcoholic and CIA asset.
>>
>>537931819
No, Alan Watt is.

Charismatic hippie who talks gibberish
>>
>>537931039
What's there to agree with? He was just a drunk who said whatever would impress gullible college girls enough to give him pussy.
>>
>>537937873
based
if only the audio recordings were not so low quality :-/
>>
>>537931039
Alan Watts was an alcoholic hippie manlet who was divorced 3 times over his life. Basically what >>537931199 and his digits said. Hewas essentially a proto-Boomer who got to live the ideal dream in California without seeing the results in the modern world.
>>
>>537931252
>Alan Watts
if a human has watts as a last name hes a force of nature thats it
