About this episode
Today's episode is a very brief overview of Eastern Philosophy, inspired by my parasocial best friend, British philosopher Alan Watts. I've spent hours listening to his musings as I've walked through the Santa Monica mountains, and this is a summary that I'd like to share with you.
