Love the distinction between Serious vs Sincere. "If a girl says to me 'I love you,' I don’t ask if she is serious, or just playing with me, because I hope she isn't serious and that she WILL play with me...I say to her, 'are you sincere or are you just toying with me?'" Have to appreciate that.
Yes, I’m sure he was a terrible sinner and that somehow excludes him from the club called Buddhism according to many. Myself, I can hear Buddhism in his laughter

I wonder if watts knew he had a magnificent voice? That would have helped with sermonizing... And it is so delightful to listen to in general!
Magnificent simple and world Renown the great Alan watts
I know, he was very special. I would’ve loved to talk to him and smoke or drink with him. 😊
Back when interviewers were wise, respectful and intelligent
Quite an informal banquet of open-mindedness which Studs and Alan freshly display for us !

Who is the interviewer ?🙏🙏🙏
Studs Terkel
I wish he were alive today. But he would be shocked at how we are destroying the ecology an d how fascism is coming back
He is more hindu/sanatani than any hindus out there.

He died of alcohism. So a Buddhist scholar not a practicioner.
