What do you think of the beatniks? Alan Watts was one of them. Shallow and pretentious folk who traded Christian spooks for a superficial knowledge of Buddhist dogma right?

I don't know anything about them, but counter-culture in general a shit, and I think you're basically right.

I love Watts though. I don't care for his mysticism, but I love his lectures on Eastern thought and existential therapy.

you're forgetting how much of the beatnik culture was based on nihilism and even more so on existentialism.

Burroughs was based, probably a CIA assassin but that only makes him even cooler.
