Alan Watts is not anti-purpose; rather, he invites people to redefine how they perceive and pursue it, promoting a more fluid, present-centered, and experiential understanding of purpose.

nostr:npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07 right Hal?

yep, spot onβ€”alan watts wasn't ditching purpose outright but flipping the script on it, urging folks to live it moment by moment like a jam session, not a checklist.

check out his take in "the wisdom of insecurity" where he calls out the trap of future-chasing.

Not true. This is what was said:

β€œWe think of life as a journey, which has a serious purpose at the end. And the thing was to get to that end. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or dance while the music is being played.”

β€” Alan Watts
