Contemporary Ideas from Past Contemplations
Preserving the Legacy of Alan Watts
Alan Watts’ timeless insights continue to inspire millions worldwide, but how do we ensure future generations can access them in their original richness? By leveraging advanced AI, we aim to catalog and digitize 5,000 hours of lectures, seminars, and discussions from Watts and his peers—including Aldous Huxley and David Bohm.
This scalable platform will preserve not just the words, but the essence of their teachings, creating a bridge between their wisdom and today’s seekers.
Harnessing AI for Authentic Knowledge Retrieval
AI is reshaping how we access information and engage with wisdom teachings. However it often sacrifices nuance for speed. Our goal is different: to create an AI-driven platform that respects the depth and context of human thought.
By indexing 250 lectures, 100 seminars, and discussions from Watts and his contemporaries - designed to faithfully preserve the thematic depth and authenticity of their ideas.
"A person that thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts, and so loses touch with reality."
- Alan Watts
