Is Alan Watts the most obtuse, difficult to grok philosopher of all time?

Everything he says is in the lens of spirituality so no. Why would he be hard to understand?

What kind of mongoloid are you that you can't understand Watts? He's easier than Descartes, and Descartes is babby tier on the level of difficulty.

I think philosophy aint for you if you really have a hard time with Watts.

Alan Watts is not a philosopher. Even he agrees on this point.

Hey op, if you like Alan Watts, you would probably like The Kybalion of Hermes Trismegistus. To me I found he's pretty much talking about the same thing. Much from the opposite side, instead of the nothing nothingness, It's the all, allness.

Here's the audiobook

This. He's just a repackaging of the old drive to stop questioning things.

Watts is hard to understand because he says things which make no sense.
