Alain de Botton is the GOAT

[@reflections509]

I've watched so many of his speeches that now everything I read is in his voice and delivery... makes everything I read so much more interesting 😅

[@Anakena3]

Glad I found both of them, thanks to KZbin!

[@Silicon7104]

Pure intelligence

[@metacat]

Is this audience muted or are they missing all his jokes?

[@robweslay7632]

There's not enough Alan speaking in videos

[@genkiferal7178]

He leaves out huge parts of the story such as - not taking responsibility can lead to poverty, bad mental and physical health, violence, homelessness, and other pain. Not taking responsibility in a culture can lead to being taken over by someone more powerful or being wiped out by a tsunami or by a virus or bacteria or famine or fire... We all judge and should. A few examples: who we let near our kids, our pets, in our homes, who we allow to borrow our car, who we tell our deepest secrets to, who we give passwords to, who we lend money to, who we hire... Judging is a part of life. But, maybe instead of condemning, we should lead by example and drop tactful hints so as not to humiliate others.

[@rogerkeizerstein6147]

He’s great. But he should slow it down a bit.

[@jupiterthesun3217]

Great talk,,, i'm sure his honest talk wasn't appreciated by those who love wearing the masks and never take a minute to really ask of themselves " why" ?! It's a wonder that creativity in tech is still spearheading , but like everything else in our human world there comes a time that the inevitable questions will surface , we are living in the most strange time of human 's existence, the planet earth is going bizzark , nations are becoming ever more reliant on the latest techs and the watchers who are supposed to blow the whistle are so drunk with the joys of consumerism that they can't even find their whistles anymore, no living organisms has ever messed with the fragile ecosystem of this earth ever before, but those who are drunk with joys of consumerism don't care because they have their eyes on other celestial bodies as their new homes ! I see the planet Venus every night which shines like a miniature second sun , its very unusual brilliance is as a result of runaway greenhouse effect , the Sun's rays reflect off of it because of its dense carbon monoxide clouds, the earth is on its way to become a. Second Venus and I am wondering if some of the human population of planet earth actually had originated from planet Venus and the possibility that they had had messed up planet Venus millennia ago and now they are doing exactly what they had done on planet Venus!! And now that they're seeing the tale tell signs of Venus happening on earth again. They have their eyes on planet Mars!!!! Of course we all know that Mars is a hostile planet to life , so that's why they're trying to download their mind into a suitable microchip and attach to it a body of non biological robot that could withstand the conditions of planet Mars, ok , I'm kind of joking here but now that I am ending this comment I'm actually seeing some bits of reality and possibilities that I had never thought possible, that's the interesting part of writing down stuff , doing so sometimes can be surprisingly revelationary , or just creative possibilities.!!!

[@yasirism1]
