I would like to respond with more, but I'm leaving town and the internet for a few weeks, and its crunch time getting out the door.

I searched for an Alan Watts lecture I wanted to send to you, but I just don't have time to find the right one. I'd recommend heading over to https://yewtu.be and searching his name and one that appeals to you.

I also think its worth reading a critique on him, so you know what I had referenced.

One of the points I like that Watts makes about the English language is that it tricks us into believing in the separation between subject and object, the knower and the known. And that a noun can start a verb.

Disclaimer: I'm not a writer, or good with language by any means. I'm more inclined to engineering, and I'm a hack at that as well.

I also think Hakim Bey's works are fun and point at some of the concepts that I referenced -

When I'm back, I'll try to pick it up and offer a more genuine and better written response.
