Alan Watts – What If The World Is Going To Hell? (SHOTS OF WISDOM 57)

Check out the entire Alan Watts Playlist: In this speech, Alan Watts addresses the question of whether civilization is a mistake and contemplates the desire for existence in a world filled with problems. He explores the idea that civilization, marked by human attempts to control and improve life, might eventually lead to its own destruction. We often rush to make decisions due to anxiety and a need for certainty. Watts suggests instead a reflection on our attachment to existence and the acceptance of uncertainty, proposing that being okay with rapid change and possible destruction might lead to more considered choices. Maybe we should rather embrace the naturalness of civilization and let go of the illusion of control, acknowledging that life after all is about participating in the dance of existence.
