What do you think about Alan Watts, swill?

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** Thu Jan 17, 2019 12:04 pm

A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So... he loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts I mean specifically, Chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition
of words, of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everybody else
It's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
And all civilized peoples
Have increasingly become crazy and self destructive
Because through excessive thinking
The have lost touch with reality

My thoughts exactly. Apparently he's a British guy who was into Zen.

I e gone 57 years without that guy making one bit of difference in my life. I reckon I can do a few more.

Is this person a recruit? How many stars?

by **steveschneider** Thu Jan 17, 2019 12:47 pm

Never heard of him but willing to hear what you think of him.

Is he related to rocket? Can he ball?

I think he's Morris' nephew.

Mr. Watts looks like the kind of guy who would be a close-talker and have a serious case of coffee breath.

A youtube said I shouldn't chase money to live cause living a shorter difficult life that I want is TOTALLY better then living a comfortable life I may not choose first.

Sounds like the bullshit my stoner brother says.

I probably saw that same thing. I guess there was an airport runway on one side of the golf course and I guess during the explosions at the end a pilot coming in for a landing reported a crash because he saw the fire and the scorched earth. What do you think about Alan Watts, swill? 502811600

Between this and the muddy water quote, I’m starting to think Alan Watts was the Captain Obvious of his time. With buck teeth from the pipe.

Bump for Bill Cain’s return. Alan Watts has been known to save lives.
