I guess I am the only one here able to do actual research.

If I provide references how will that change your perspective?

What makes you think that? I did a google search for "Alan Watts spouse abuse" before asking. If I knew where these claims were coming from I might be able to take them more seriously.

I guess I am the only one here able to answer simple questions.

That is not an answer in any country that I am aware of.

I did not ask if you took them seriously or not. I asked (THIRD TIME), if the accusations were accurate HOW would your perspective change? Just admit the question is beyond your intellectual ability instead of dodging.

So you like powerful, but empty words like a politician or a carnival barker? OK.

Me? I like somebody who walks the walk. That takes a lot more balls and wisdom and insight than gum-flapping.

That's the first time you worded the question like that. Before you only asked what I would think if you provided a source, not if it was true or not.

How much intellectual ability does it take to consider what you have and haven't said when it's written right in front of you?

Alan Watts was his father, that's why he has so much resentment towards him.

Well, either way- you don't have to love the artist to love the art. I'll walk his talk even if he can't.

Nice non sequitur. Appreciating art does not require any knowledge of the artist; whereas following a life path requires either blind faith or a decent role model.

Making sense or resonating with one's self have zero bearing on validity. Only cover this every other week.

Do you think Jim Jones' followers thought his words did or did not make sense? Honest reply please.
