Man, you seem like a philosopher ALREADY. Ever read/listened to any Allen Watts?

I've heard of Mr. Watts, but I haven't read anything by him yet, since I'm still on Plato on a very long list of Philosophers to read, and that's just Western Philosophy.

I did watch the two videos that thenewgreen linked to, and I sense a certain kind of eastern flair to his philosophy that's pretty neato. I quite like the little bit of Eastern Philosophy that I've read, sometimes fancying it greater than most Western Philosophy, letting it influence my worldviews quite a bit more than Western Philosophy.

In any case, whenever I do get around to him, I'll make sure to read everything he's ever done.
