Don't Take Life So Seriously in 2026 - Alan Watts

JOIN THE COURSE: PESSIMISTIC PHILOSOPHY — THE LUCID DARKNESS: https://abelpataca.com/ BECOME A CHANNEL MEMBER:    / @abelpatacaap   FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM:   / abel_pataca   Not taking life so seriously isn't indifference. It's lucidity. This video explores the collapse of the most common illusions: control, purpose, redemption, and inner progress. Inspired by the reflections of Alan Watts, philosophical pessimism, and spirituality without promises, the text investigates why we insist on treating existence as something that needs to be justified — and the psychological cost of this insistence. There are no formulas or consolation here. Just an honest look at the fact that life happens without asking permission, without guarantees, and without final explanations. Philosophical references and echoes: Alan Watts — The Wisdom of Insecurity (1951) Friedrich Nietzsche — Twilight of the Idols (1889) Arthur Schopenhauer — The World as Will and Representation (1818) Søren Kierkegaard — Final Unscientific Postscript (1846) If something here bothers you, perhaps it's working. #AlanWatts #Philosophy #Nihilism #Existentialism #PhilosophicalPessimism #SpiritualityWithoutIllusion #Consciousness #Lucidity #DontTakeLifeSoSeriously
