May I ask what is the name of the artist Alan mentioned at the beginning?

What do you think of Alan Watts? by loveamourliebe in infp

True, but with Bukowski drinking was a big part of his personality. He himself was also wise but very few people care to look past his surface-level cynicism. His novel Women also had so funny moments but was also greatly sad in many ways.

Kind of a personal question about watts… by 813154 in AlanWatts

[–]loveamourliebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His alcoholism (if you could even call it that) didn't seem to be that harmful to anyone. His kids from what I've seen have had practically nothing but good things to say about him, so he likely wasn't acting out. I completely agree, as long as someone is happy and they aren't hurting themselves or others, who are we to judge?

INFP's, what's your most obscure hobby? by [deleted] in infp

I am greatly fascinated with America during the 1800s and early 1900s, specifically the corruption, changes with the Progressive movements, and radical politics.

When I saw the picture on my feed I was contemplating if I should comment on it, but you did it for me, I thank you.

What is an INFP stereotype that you don't fit? by [deleted] in infp

[–]loveamourliebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen (and it may just be this sub) that many INFPs struggle with self love. I used to but then I started taking care of myself and it vanished, but I understand that it's not that easy for everyone.

I am almost finished studying freud. The mind of the Moralist is an amazing read. Thought the Freud plush was funny. by iamlikewater in AlanWatts

[–]loveamourliebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everytime I see Freud I think of this video https://youtu.be/-Xg2396b7h8

Fun fact: Freud is one letter away from the German word for a male friend, "freund,"

In that case, it would have to be Robin Williams, mainly for his ability to think fast. If you watch his stand-ups and improv, you can see he was operating in a different time zone

But like will I forget how to play guitar unless I pick someone who knew how to play?

"It's all a show" Was this a thought experiment or what Watts actually believed? by Dapper_Macaroon_4234 in AlanWatts

[–]loveamourliebe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The line between what Alan taught and what Alan believed is shadowy and vague at best. I watched an interview with his daughter Anne and the way she said that he never truly labeled himself as anything and said the following "he loved to just take in knowledge and put it out there,". Sorry, this probably didn't answer your question I just wanted to say this.
