Alan Watts: A Conversation with Myself – Part 1
February 9th, 2010
A 1971 television recording with Alan Watts walking in the mountains and talking about the limitations of technology and the problem of trying to keep track of an infinite universe with a single tracked mind. Video posted by Alan’s son and courtesy of alanwatts.com.
allan watts is genuis & has opened my eyes to many ideas
I love allan watts just wanted to let everyone know.
Probably not but i’m sure the topic of discussion which I responding to was not beyond. Watts was well aware of his insight to his family let alone the world. It’s a shame that most cannot see beyond there ego (I apologize if the auto correcting spelling is not actuate but I’m not concerned with numbers only deep though.
@artalect:
“ha ha” funny?
Watts knew well the value of silence, but that wouldn’t make for the best of programming, now, would it?
If funny how much people reveal about them selfs when trying to reveal others.
Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world Mark. Your father was a brilliant man!
what…what did i say…was that meant for me…
@DARKnDODGY i could honestly go on for hours. why because i dont talk out of my ass and everyone scapegoats whites when alot of whites they point fingers at arent actually white due to definition. are you black, asain, brown, slavic, native, jewish, semetic or latino?
@DARKnDODGY stop being ignorant and read books not biased hating books, books that are not mainstreqam and predjudice. you simply attack whites and hitler when you know of neither. through this you will realize that we have all done the same things on different scales the jews have commit more murder within the last hundred and twenty years through communism and yet we cry about the “holocaust” which means burnt offereing which originally was jews hunting gentiles then drinking its blood
WOW!
You’re full of shit… but your white, so what should I expect. Hitler was the best thing that every happened with your demon race, and you killed him because you’re a bunch of morons!
jealous of the big white man eh. has to put him down. you arent strong enough to live your life with these demons so go fuck yourself you self hating piece of shit. everyone has committed the same attrocities.
I’ve just discovered Alan Watts, and am very glad I have.
Mark – Thank you very much for kindly sharing your father’s thoughts and work.
You are at the start of enlightenment. Good place. I hope you are young. This time becomes more useful when you get older.
wow! this guy blows my mind everytime i listen to him.
Yeah!
The Native Americans where trying to tell you all this when your cracka ass devil race was exterminating them all, you fucking ignorant white demons!!
@flockofseagulls87 …damn dude….nice closing line……
What more can I say? My only reaction to your comments is pity.
then keep your blindness
why go on living? why not? mine is a universal observation and desire – eliminating myself alone would alter nothing substabtially
why post comments? why not? it passes the time and might even shake some out of their blindness and servitude to blind convention
Amen…
I’d rather keep my blindness, if your definition of “seeing” is the necessity of the self destruction of the human race. If you really feel that way, why go on living? Why do you post comments on a public forum? Why not get a head start and remove yourself from the picture? I’m not advising you to commit suicide, but the question has to be asked, why haven’t you self destructed yet?
perhaps one day you will rid yourself of this blindness and you will see it..
I don’t see how you can look at a being such as man and define him only by his negative aspects. Man is a being of infinite potential. He strives to live, not just survive. He posesses consciousness, culture, religion, science, and morality. A being like man is extremely rare, and for all we know, may be unique in the entire cosmos, and you think man should self destruct for the benefit of the natural world? Without us, there would be no one to behold the wonders of the natural world.
@PurposeOnEarth You just said put children in separated schools because of their gender. What next?; Segregate blacks and whites into their own class rooms? Humans are animals, not people. What about all the hermit style kids, they need support in their lifestyles too. They’re a group of people constantly looked over by society and they often just end up mad or considered to have learning difficulties so are stuck in a box and shuffled along the ’special needs’ cue.
Are you kidding me- I am talking like a nazi. I think the news, churchs, tvs, george bush and the education system are more “nazi”- than me. Are you referring to the money see money do “theory”. What are you talking about? I have no means to being a “nazi”, more like help people see the truth and how lame ( or boring) their life truely is. Debt slaves and all working for paper printed money. All manufactured and printed by the “Federal Reserved” and the government who totals us “puppet”
