  • Alan Watts Quote - We feel that our actions are voluntary when they follow a decision and involuntary when they happen without decision.
  • Alan Watts Quote - You will never get to the irreducible definition of anything because you will never be able to explain why you want to explain, and so on. The system will gobble itself up.
