    Rascality is my weirdness that I relish in and have fun with every day. A sense of humor that carries me through the day and if I can get my fellow humans to think I’ve succeeded in my goal to improve the world in someway.😂😊🎉❤😅

    This music sounds very much like the soundtrack of "Blade Runner" when Roy Batty does the "Tears in Rain" monologue. I'm sorry to say it doesn't really fit with Alan Watts. I appreciate lectures with no music at all, and if there is no audience noise in the background like it was given in a small intimate group, it's best to keep that vibe.
