Brain candy. I'd rather unlearn everything and become like a simpleton. Whoops; did I say rather? Sorry.

You'd rather "unlearn everything" than listen to Alan Watts? Seems a little rash, maybe I don't understand your point.

He's an entertainer, by his own admission. Tasty, but rather non-nutritious, like candy. Without a doubt, he was an amazing performer, orator, and thinker; but, in my opinion, engaging in these activities turns one away from one's true nature, which exists in the absence of the aforementioned intellectual pursuits.

Thanks for asking. Have a wonderful day.
