Do you feel it too? The strange hollowness at the core of technological liberal humanism? We've made huge progress in the meritocratic sorting of people into slots which they will find relatively pleasant. People can get good advice for their decisions from experts. Every problem you could fall into has a supportive network of fellow sufferers who will help you get back on the right track.
But the actual fact of life is still utterly insane and bewildering. Its finiteness, its lack of closure, its periods of despair and hope, its strange moments of personal transformation.
Pic related is the best example I've ever seen. How can there be a guide for accepting death? Death isn't a "life stage", it's a primal encounter, it's a symbol. Its importance can only be captured by attempts to say the unsayable.

you will get there when you get there, no amount of religion, self help books or psedo science bullshit will tell you whats on the other side.
dont spend too much time lookin over an ever looming infinate horizion and just live for the moment you have you fucking thick numbskull, that short, fleeting whisper of a moment is probobly the only one you will get, so why spend it worring about whats at the end of it?

The light at the end of the tunnel is the light of another outside.

Alan Watts sucks. If you think he is profound then I legit pity you. I'm not even casting aspersions on his brand of mystic philosophical poetry, but so many people do it so, so much better than this hack.
Fuck, you are SUCH a pleb.
