This is quite an interesting talk from Alan Watts. He brings up some interesting points. Watts was rational in his approach to the spiritual and spiritual in his approach to the rational.

Thank you for this. Brilliant and plain-spoken critique of the Anglo-American analytic school of thought and logical positivism, which are stinky, wrong, and responsible for a lot of bad stuff in our culture. Really interesting how the philosophical arguments he makes mesh not only with e.g. the ancient Tao but the continental European tradition in the 20th century.

Well said! (Especially love the description of 'Enlightenment' (ha!) thinking as stinky, wrong and responsible for a lot of bad stuff in our culture! Perhaps the best description of a philosophical school and it's effects ever! But it looks like it's finally starting to run out of road as even it's staunchest champions have realised that it goes nowhere and there was nothing really very much in it)

This guy makes me feel ashamed of myself for needing neurotypicals to be precise and specific with their words, but I can't help it. I've got Asperger's and they have a habit of being vague, which only leads them to be upset with me, because they wouldn't clearly explain things. They get upset with me for their own vagueness. I'm not an effing mind reader, come on. I can't know what I don't know.

Yep that's the vast majority of people to ever exist, unfortunately it seems... Then I find myself saying "that was clearly a joke,.didn't you see I said "..lol"? " Then they seem to say "paradoxes lol" but really they're double standards But I know imbeciles are not worth losing sanity over... {Maybe when much is at stake that normally gives me strength? (the pristine external environments still out there for instance, highly under threat lately)} but otherwise, they can go waste their life elsewhere on some other moron lol

That's not what this video is about. He states very clearly that this precision is needed in life. But Tao cannot be tackled with that. Even the most neurotypical vagueness is not as precisely so vague as to read tao. Perfect communication is skillful and precision is need, these taoist arts are the most precise communication they could gather, and rationale words do not do it justice. The most precise words about the tao, is that it is what is is. You are that which is it, the other things are artforms surrounding all that is, that includes your identity before you accept that you are just what is.
