I listen to Alan Watts quite regularly, and always fascinated by the broad range of sciences he can tap into. Even more interesting given the criticism he has towards academia.

- pestaa 6y agoAre you sure he misrepresented science? On the contrary, I get the impression that Alan took scientific discoveries and matched those onto his philosophical stances. He objected to the personal beliefs of the stereotypical scientist, and put forward an argument that the science works even if you stop viewing the universe as a purely materialistic mechanism. Which is not to say it then automatically possesses meaning, an intelligent designer or purpose.
