The Not Alan Watts Podcast - Technology

In this second episode, we embark on a philosophical odyssey, exploring how technology both enriches and complicates our lives. From windscreen wipers to digital communication, we question the true cost of progress and convenience. We unravel the complex emotions that arise when old and new collide, pondering the significance of parking apps, vinyl records, and voice notes. As we navigate this ever-shifting landscape, we approach these questions with playful curiosity, seeking joy in the unexpected and wisdom in the unlikeliest places. Join us as we plunge into the wild and wonderful world of technology, embracing the grand dance of life.

AI 👎

If you believe Alan Watts' beliefs to be worth spreading: learn them, internalize them, and teach them yourself. Training an AI on his thoughts and setting it's yapper loose for 30 minutes is a bad faith attempt to spread his way of thinking. I respect the desire to make Alan Watts accessable, but this isn't the way. Before you know it, another AI will be trained on this Alan Watts AI and it will become a game of telephone where we've entirely lost the man and original thought behind the ocean of now soulless words. If you care about Alan Watts, translate and spread him with blood sweat and tears. Don't trample on the grave of a dead, great man for your profit.

wonderful use of AI used to highlight our over dependence of technology without human meaning. Ironic.

Nothing if you're a fan of any of Alan Watt's lectures. Highly Recommended. Give it a go.
