Well Paul - You've spelled it all out by referring to your mentor as Alan Watts. Basically he muses on just about everything we already know, its causes and reasons. In his World Domination theorizing he has replaced Rhodes, Rothschild, Soros et all with Rockefeller. Clearly he does not want to be just another person. He defines his position in Society by wearing a beard and pony tail. Some critics suggest that men also grow beards because they have " weak chins" or want to appear, like Vikings of Yore and Victorian husbands somewhat intimidating. I'm not too sure about guys wearing ponytails though - there is a host of ideas about that. Times have changed and it is surprizing to an octogenarian like me that " mods" of today are able to navigate the sidewalks gawping into their I-phones without stepping into doggy poop and crashing into lamp-posts. Some even talk on their smart phones when actually sitting next to each other ! Like Watts indicates...times have changed but what he does not suggest is exactly who his "They" persons are or how the world should change for the better. Do we go back to " The Flintstones era or club those who don't hand over the food we have gathered or the women we prefer? We were once informed that " the meek shall inherit the earth". It seems to be that life really revolves around " following the money" - establishing family wealth and hierarchies, big business and all else should accept their lot.
I am not a progressive " lefty" as you seem to think and try to maintain a fairly open viewpoint. Once upon a time that would possibly have been classed as politically Liberal but these days we are nearly extinct. However in my book one does not go about demeaning, insulting and making very indecent and unpleasant comments to your fellow beings. Maybe it makes you feel superior - Trump certainly thrives on it. Alan Watts didn't (as far as I can tell).
