The Story of the Chinese Farmer

"The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad - because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune." ~ Alan Watts

Is there good or bad or is that just a concept we interpret the way we do due to religious mumbo jumbo ...

do you think its not possible to declare things as good or bad? do we need to bring up examples?

I didn't take the story as literally as saying that everything is all good or all bad, more like it's a possible lesson on how perspective can change the way we frame events. A lesson that could be useful for us to consider sometimes in our own lives.

Psychonauts 9.9/10

We think we are conditioned to perceive things as good and bad and a large majority is influenced by religion

generation last

I don't think you need religion to consider say the murder of a child to be evil, it's our instinct, hard wired for survival.

I’ve heard this told several times by ram dass too and love his particular telling. It’s a great tale 🙏🏻

Alan Watts on Money

simple truths are the most powerful

theStrokes

just like in a game, money in real life is a sideshow once you reach the min needed.

hell bent for pleather

What a visionary its like he understands a world 75 years later

Wait til you get more insights past Alan Watts insights. His words and wisdom are not powerful infact they control a certain group of mind sets like Chess ratings. You can then guess their next ten moves like bots.
