alan watts, animated

friend adam recently sent me some quite good flash animations based on the spoken poetry of alan watts.

i found alan watts books as a teenager and loved them thoroughly. my parents were concerned but basically let me read whatever i wanted. this even after an incident at my mom’s lab, where a colleague remarked about my new interest in philosophy, “that’s great as long as he stays clear of alan watts”.

i think he presents the buddhist view, especially in these short flash animation, in a particularly approachable way.

also of interest, at least the first three animations are done by the makers of south park, trey and matt. they all might be. apparently trey parker’s father was a huge fan of alan watts.
