This speech by Alan Watts (1915 - 1973) was probably recorded sometime in the early 1970s (since he mentioned a coming energy crisis), which would have been not too long before his death. What he said is still as relevant today as it was back then. I will post some more of these later.

Note: The title is a bit clickbaity, but the video is definitely worth listening to.

Interesting that you bring up a guy named "Alan Watts". Because there is a guy I've followed over the years that I've heard on various podcast networks and his name is Alan Watt ( minis the S on the end). And he just recently passed away.

The other guy Alan Watt was one of the very best guys I've ever heard that is so knowledgeable so many types of corruption within our system. I encourage Jim and all the rest of you to check out "Alan Watt" and you can find a lot of his old stuff on www.bitchute.com.

I must admit I'm not familiar with this guy that Jim mentioned named "Alan Watts"

What the **** is happening to me. I kept waiting for the "I live my life Boring" to start taking her top off. I guess my words of wisdom are that too much time on a computer can do things to your mind. Take some reality and turn the internet off . :)
