    One of the last bastions of the so-called logical thinking is the notion of causality. As a fundamental premise of the way we perceive anything that happens, it's almost inconceivable to question its legitimacy. In his typically straightforward manner of smashing idols, Alan Watts debunks the very fundament of causality as a mere illusion. Our conception of some events as causes and others as effects is rooted in our inability to recognize the fact that there are no separate events and that all events are mutually interdependent.

    That's what I tried to tell my wife when she accused me of causing all of our money to be gone because I spent it on booze. There's no such thing as an event, I screamed.

      The bark of the dog and the bark of a tree, you can certainly use them differently. Namaste

      Really? He is ignorant of how to use the two most important equations in the world.
      Logic science 101
      Two laws
      Law of contradiction A=B impossible contradiction
      Now how do we use it?
      Intelligent design argument?
      Lets discover the contradiction in question?
      A=B impossible contradiction:
      A non intelligence caused evolved = B the contradiction effect of intelligence
      This is stupid scientific false hypothesis, A=B
      Never in a lab has the contradiction been demonstrated
      But in labs only the law of NON-CONTRADICTION
      A isn't=to B is objective true logic
      A no brain organisms cause only = B the effect of no brain organisms
      B brain organisms cause only =
      B the NON CONTRADICTION EFFECT OF brainiac organisms.
      This is true science A isn't=to B objective absolutely true logic
      Knowledge doctrine
      A non knowledge caused = B the contradiction of knowledge
      This is a false scientific hypothesis A=B impossible contradiction and should never be pursued by science.
      A isn't=to B. In labs
      A knowledge causes = A the effect of knowledge.
      B no knowledge causes = B the effect knowledge
      Use A=B for objective absolutely true logic for a false premise.
      A war is moral just and legal
      B non war is moral just and legal
      You have discovered the contradiction A=B impossible contradiction, war can't be both moral and immoral
      Restore truth?
      A isn't=to B
      EITHER A war is moral just and legal
      OR B non-war is moral just and legal
      Not both, that would be A=B impossible contradiction CORRUPT MAN'S LAW.
      Closing argument
      Your honor, if A war is moral just and legal, then B non war is immoral unjust and illegal. To avoid A=B impossible contradiction corrupt law
      A stealing is immoral
      B non stealing is moral.
      If only war is truly moral then the human race would exterminate and God would have to commit suicide because killing is legal and non killing is illegal
      See how screwed up Allan Watts brain is by not being smart enough to use A=B and A isn't=to B to discover God and truly what is moral just and legal
      A heterosexual is moral just legal
      B non heterosexual is legal moral and just
      This is A=B impossible contradiction now A isn't=to B
      EITHER A heterosexual is moral just and legal
      OR non-heterosexual is moral just and legal
      Not both to avoid A=B impossible contradiction corrupt man's law
      If A non-heterosexuals are the only legal beings then B heterosexuals would be illegal and the human race would exterminate. Bi sexual is A=B impossible contradiction.
      A abortion is legal
      B non abortion is legal
      This is A=B impossible contradiction corrupt man's law subjective illogical immoral unjust illegal absurd confusing reason. Dude you better learn how to use A=B and A isn't=to B to know who you truly are and who God is for your life.
      Dude, do Consciousness doctrine, use A=B to discover contradiction and then A isn't=to B to establish objective absolutely true logic.
      Man is void of how simple life is to understand, God taught me, PhD logic science instructors don't even know how to use the two basic foundational equations they discovered, not even Aristotle or Aquinus. How this helps you dude.
      A God is a pacifist that kills
      B God is a non-pacifist that kills
      A=B impossible contradiction
      EITHER A God is a pacifist that doesn't kill
      OR B God is a non-pacifist that kills
      To avoid God being an impossible contradiction A=B
      God is justice only not justice and unjustice
      God would have to exterminate humans and commit suicide because being a non-pacifist is moral just and legal. Dude make this knowledge go viral. 😎😍👍❤

      Oops, God is A Either a pacifist that doesn't kill or B a non-pacifist that does kill

    Is there free will then? Someone help me understand

    • @luvdomus
      @luvdomus ปีที่แล้ว

      Free will is just a persistent illusion. You are not an individual person, you are simply what the universe is doing at this time and place.

    • @ion6069
      @ion6069 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no you. So whose free will are we talking about if there is no you and no me? The question becomes absurd

    • @luvdomus
      @luvdomus ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ion6069 Will is an illusion created by the contrast between what you have and what you want. You believe you must expend effort to obtain a goal. You must win but not lose. You create an artificial distinction between "self" and "other," with self on the inside-- sensitive and vulnerable-- and other on the outside-- vast, mysterious and uncaring. So you feel yourself plunked down in the middle of this no man's land, fighting for your life. But the truth is both sides are really "you." There is only the doing with no personal "doer" making it happen. We habitually imagine there must be subject for every verb, but that is just a grammatical convention. We imagine that we have a mind that thinks, but who is the "me" that posseses this thing called mind? What is the mind but the flow of thoughts itself, and what identity do we have other than this flow which no outside person is pushing around, it is just happening, going, changing always. This is a realization so subtle and profound that words cannot easily convey it.

    All very fine. So then we have excuses for all kinds of bad behavior ????????????????? I don't think so. Homey don't play dat. The bile says *IT'S NECESSARY THAT OFFENSES COME.* That part seems to agree with Mr. Watts' argument that there are no separate events. And dividing what came before from what comes after is purely arbitrary for the sake of accounting. But it's also true that crimes are sometimes punished . . . when caught and properly convicted. So then why is it necessary for Confucianists to teach *DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DONE TO YOURSELF.* ??????????????????? Clearly they don't teach *JUST DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE WHENEVER YOU LIKE TO WHOMEVER YOU LIKE.* And don't be concerned with consequences ???????????? Sounds like rubbish to me. There ARE consequences to bad behavior.
