Description

The Book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts explores the idea that our perception of ourselves and the world is often at odds with the physical facts. Watts argues that our sense of self as a separate ego is an illusion, and that our true identity is bound to the physical universe. By understanding this, we can begin to see ourselves as a part of the world, rather than apart from it. This shift in perspective can lead to a more harmonious relationship with technology and the natural environment.
