Prickles and Goo: This is one of several animated short films set to the audio recordings of philosopher Alan Watts (1915 -- 1973). From what I can tell, the animations were made several years ago and were produced by the makers of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. If You like this video then you may also like the new philosophical nonfiction graphic novel titled The Universe Is a Dream.

- I'm a gooey prick

[imatube2]

There are two types of people in this world - those who divide the world into two types and those who don't.

[charles brown]

My prick has goo on it.

[Tony Pooler]

my nickname was goo sense i was a babey and it still is and from my experience, i noticed i had a goo personality

[beatlesrutles]

When I heard this I wondered if the Gumby characters Prickle and Goo came from this - and they did!

Interesting. But what a man "could be" or "may be" is not "what they are most of the time", as shown by a pattern of actions which are relative to virtue. Those who attempt to make, "everything relative" are living in the "ignorance is bliss bubble", which is based on FEAR & serves no one, while hurting us all in the long run. I don't believe in a "good force" or "bad force" (Star Wars) ONLY that there are men with good intentions or bad ones, & moreover, only very rarely do they ever, "change".

Maybe I wasn't clear (my bad, let me try a question instead). Isn't a prickly [or a goo for that matter] capable of being "insecure/neurotic/controller/­­destroyer (evil)" or "secure/confident/humanitarian­­/creators (good)" beings? You see, being a prickly [or a goo] are not related to having or lacking virtue, they're related to one's personal interests and individuality. Happy Mayan New Calendar!

Emotions are not "rational" much of the time.

Having or exercising the ability to reason.

Of sound mind; sane.

Consistent with or based on reason; logical: rational behavior.

What is rational are the virtues which are consistent with logic, not fallacy or "feelings", ones which support individual over collective. Because it is the individual which creates everything. All meaningful ideas started in the mind of one & were only later exploited or improved upon by the collective.

[Harvey Klee]

At first I was tempted to agree but then neither of your two categories fall into an only prickly or only gooey personality (neither is only good or only evil) it doesn't stand to reason. You're two categories has more to do with each prickly and goo's ability to still rationalize even under emotional distress. Then you're left with a division that looks like a pile of prickly goo that is emotionally irrational and belligerent and a pile of prickly goo that's calm, open-minded and rational.

[Harvey Klee]

Cute but is there a point? How should the prickly goo interchange then?

[MrLivePositive8]

Haha, funny.

[rross27]

The two categories here attempt to erase a line, much like the bad guy in a movie tells the good guy, "we are a lot alike". I believe the two types of thinking in humans is more to do with the, "insecure/neurotic/controller/­destroyer" opposed to the group which truly seeks knowledge for the benefit of ALL mankind; "secure/confident/humanitarian­/creators". A division with little grey area. The grey area is where the charlatan paints his lies, for in black or white his illusions would be obvious.
