Gram the Grown Up #9 Alan Watts

[Roshan]

This guy is not my mirror. I was never going to wind up hanging out with him into the wee hours of the morning for long. His Jockoistic aluminumism was always going to wind up off-putting.

He is one of the 'aluminati'.

And once I had the ct (which, to be fair, did come from one comment on the Net that hit me hard on the head), the rest just fell into place (with a little 'wiggle room' ).

[so/sp] stacking mistaken for 1 fix, 5w4 lead fix right in the Hole (albeit with heavy movement to 6) mistaken for [sp/sx]...dude is weird af.

Five is the most common typing for him on the Net and this appears to be one case where the Internet is actually right--though I got the 5 after the ct and initially from the similarities with NeTi's we know (which Anthony actually also alluded to in the chat after the first video so idk what happened with that line of thought).

[Roshan]

My complete typing is so/sp 5w46w5-3w22w1-9w81w9. As I said, wings seem pretty balanced, and I'm not sure about them but I'm particularly unsure about the subwing on the 3.

Well, as we discussed in one of our recent video chats, I blurted "He reminds me of Ash" in front of you guys before the poll closed, and my [first] impression of him upon watching the OP video was that he was gonna turn out to be NeTi so/sp or sp/sx 539/1. He also reminded me of David Byrne, who we know is sp/sx 359. I intentionally erased that line of thought after grossly misinterpreting your saying, "You're getting that from things you've already seen of him, and why are you saying that before the poll closed?"

I agree with your typing and the points you've made. [As you pointed out to me from the wiki] "He's a great bodhisattva;" so/sp 5w4 carries down the holiest tablets, and he is ALL about Holy Transparency. Like I said before, when the OP video began with the photo demonstration of perspective/illusion, my first thought was "Five." Everything with him is about rendering the highest-resolution perspective possible; I think I wrote this off as "well, he's spent his whole life studying Eastern philosophy" to justify my 7 typing.

I also think the 9w8(1w9) fits. He has a bit of "The Dude" in him, which is especially apparent in the short documentary. As for the 3 fix...I'm really not sure, tbh. I'm not convinced he's 3w2 > 3w4 fixed. The only justification I currently see for it is "well, he can't have two 4 wings;" but if Bo Burnham has two 4 wings, why not Alan Watts? I'm going to look at some more materials to try to figure this out.

Well, the Norns just won't stop mocking me for missing this one...

I started writing something here this morning before work, trying to retrace my steps. I lost it all because my computer crashed and when i rebooted and reloaded my browser,this video was on top of my youtube suggestions.
i'm pretty positive it wasn't there when i searched last week so i just opened it to take a look, randomly clicked on the 3'41 mark. . only to see that Mayan-ish mask coming right out of Bardo to help Watts illustrate his very Fi polr and very non-gamma attempt to reduce Individuality to Persona...

Will watch the rest of it soon and will try to rewrite the post i lost either tonight or tomorrow morning.
tbcd.

I think Kurt Cobain might be the unhealthier, Sx-dominant version of Watts. NeTi Sx/Sp ("cutter") 5w4 539. It could be interesting to compare them. tbcd
