Watts: Life is not complicated

"The intense complexity we see in everything is created by our attempt to analyze it all."

This relates to Lent's description on how our analyzing intelligence has an overriding and sick hold on our overall worldview. In other words, the never-ending cycle of meta(sta)sizing. He suggests that we must re-enchant our animate or synthetic intelligence and integrate it with our cognitive or analytic intelligence. It's our modern day 'fall' in paradise. Which is not to say we should do away with analysis but rather integrate it with synthesis. And that enactment depends on how we approach the Hegelian thesis-antithesis-synthesis formula itself.
