Beware of Virtue

Alan Watts (1915–1973) was a British-American philosopher, writer, public speaker and translator of Eastern philosophies for Western audiences. After Watts's death, his lectures found posthumous popularity through regular broadcasts on public radio, and more recently on the internet.

Watts's books frequently include discussions reflecting his keen interest in patterns that occur in nature and which are repeated in various ways and at a wide range of scales – including the patterns to be discerned in the history of civilizations. ~ From Wikipedia
