Alan Watts On The Art Of Learning Not To Think In Terms Of Gain And Loss. Is This Specious?

The Yin-Yang of Fortune and Misfortune: Alan Watts on the Art of Learning Not to Think in Terms of Gain and Loss

"The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it's really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad."

It seems clear that Watts used his fame to "seduce" women.

Whether or not this behavior "should" qualify the truth of his work I do not know.

That said, I am attracted to much of Watt's analysis but am also suspicious that he is too glib.

 Almost giddily glib.

The trouble is: Who doens't want to participate in giddiness?
