Timothy Leary, Alan Watts, Gary Snyder & Allen Ginsberg - 7/7

Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and Gary Snyder for an hour-and-a-half of a conversation held on Watts' houseboat in February of 1967, just a few weeks after the first Human Be-In. While there are any number of interesting tidbits and some fascinating similarities to what is taking place in the world again today, one of the most interesting parts (at least to me) of their conversation is what must have been their first discussion of Dr. Leary's famous, but spontaneous proclamation of, "Turn on, tune in, drop out". If you are a student of Dr. Leary, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. . . . And did I mention that the real star of this show is Alan Watts, who said among other things: "In other words, when there is a game going on that's on a collision course, and that this game obviously is going to lead to total destruction, the only way of getting people out of a bad game is to indicate that the game is no longer interesting. See, we've left this game and it bores us."

It's really amazing how they almost pin pointed the creation of the internet.

I think it was Ginsburg in 5/7 who spoke of a large electronic network of tribes

the whole thing is absolutly fascinating i wish there where more recordings.

I think Alan Watts wins. :) Because he was humble and ultra wise.
