for all that don’t yet know, alan watts made a bunch of video lessons and they’re all up right here – https://www.youtube.com/user/87SilentSpace/videos

my favorite one so far – Death – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNd_3A3_gI8&list=PLF72F9CAE1F7F401C

i love how he shows the buddhist artwork in this one – sometimes i think the internet is the new buddhist temple :)

this is amazing!!

yes! his insights have changed the way i view everything in so many ways

i would add “the book: on the taboo against knowing who you are” by Alan Watts to this list

another way to make research more honest: take the bad incentives out of it…we have a culture filled with bad incentives, most shady research is done because someone is trying to profit off of it or gain something from it for themselves…human behavior can’t be understood without understanding the context of the environment the behavior emerges from…

“close the door”

i disagree (see the socratic method)

specifically, read his essay “myth of sisyphus”

also, camus (who i personally find the most brilliant)
