The Great Moral Struggle

Join me, and my friend Mynaa Miesnowan, for a discussion inspired by the work of Alan Watts, and his "Wisdom of Insecurity". We compare Watts' own approach to the insecurity of life to that of Nietzsche's, and generally analyze Watts' ideas from a Nietzschean framework. Ultimately, we diverge wildly from the topics covered in Watts' work, and the starting topic is really more a guidepost for the various directions that our thought takes us. However, contained in this are a couple of fun and fascinating looks at the contrast between Watts and Nietzsche, as regards their thought on leisure v/s productivity, and sobreity v/s intoxication. We also touch upon the critiques both men made of language, and the metaphysical assumptions of our society in its materialistic atomism, and how the human perspective inevitably delimits the boundaries of thought.
