Ladies and gentlemen, we are achieving a point in the evolution of culture, art, and humanity that it takes 2:37 to describe a single word sensation. This is why humanity is beautiful and provokes Yugen for me.
I feel that my way of describing this feeling is a visceral and intuitive understanding of something profound that semantics aren't adequate to express. Poetry can sometimes be the closest way to use words. We create art about it as well.
Yūgen and qualia are practically one and the same, both describe distinct moments in life that humans can attach to, moments that give us the feeling of our conscious awareness, such as when we hear a song for the first time and get those goose bumps, or when you smell the flowers or see the sunset.
Omg I literally just watched him talking ab yugen in a RUclips video, started researching this word and it’s now my favorite word. Allan Watts is amazing
