There is a point made in the original seminar, which is quite important to mention.
That is - the notion of 'privacy'.
The notion that we all have something private that should remain hidden - that should not be revealed.
Watts equates this notion of privacy to wickedness.
Essentially that privacy and wickedness are the same thing.
This is quite important.
Also, he mentions, that for the dynamic of - everyone being able to read each other's thoughts - it is essential that this applies to Everyone.
There can not be a 'Controller' - as in the novel 1984 - where there is a 'Big Brother' exempt from having THEIR thoughts available for reading.
Because that would be the foundation of Tyranny.
So Watts is saying - - Relax, Stop trying to endlessly defend yourself, endlessly justify yourself or condemn yourself.
Be open and accept yourself.
Every nuance of yourself.
And, in doing so, understand yourself.
In understanding yourself you will understand others.
Because at root we are all One.
But - - this requires the hard work of removing our subjective and insular perceptions.

Technology feels so invasive in th private LIFE..that..not even solitude is enough ..now..to be
Alone...
And th isolation needs to grow even further in order to..find the self.
Technology is but a small mirror of our supra human capacities...
Telepathy..intuition...
magic
It always existed...but
Machines made on our vision are taking th human place..
But
It s a matter of evolution...
We r a very young emerging civilisation from a time of tyranny and war..
They say..humanity had destroyed itself 5 times already..
But doesn't mattet.
It s a journey for th soul
Some are going to evolve beyond imagination
❤may we succeed

Total communion. The most extraordinary talk I have heard for years. I understand this completely and no AI or not. Reference Steven hawking. The book universe in nutshell. Chapter describes the auto technical evolution of human beings. On the same point. Steven Spielberg the movie Ai. Prophetic. Just like the Sci fi books from the 50s and 60s

Alan Watts was either a prophet or a time traveler!
