Alan Watts & Nature At Its Wiggliest

Alan Watts

Tue, 10/02/2007 - 12:58am — MJS

This YouTube video (part 3 of a 4 part series) of a 1971 television program features the late Alan Watts ruminating on how we humans attempt to rigidly control our view of life and nature, to the point of suffering the marriage of an illusion with a falsehood. You can find parts 1, 2 & 4 of this program, as well as other Alan Watts content, here.

Can we be like trees in the wind and still keep all of them from being chopped down?

I don't know.

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
