    Default Alain de Botton

    I couldn't find a thread on him, although I felt there was on. I seem to remember thinking off-hand years ago that he is maybe IEI.


    I currently think EII; his ideology and style reads that way, but perhaps this is just a slight impression I have..

    Most likely, yeah. I know the guy and like a FEW of his videos, although I don't 100% sympathize with the things he is promoting. I heard and know that he is very hated for trying to "mainstream" philosophy or something like that.
    His videos and The School of Life in itself is basically Delta values personified, if you care about that sort of thing.

    Yep, EII e2 sp/sx.

    EII is the LSI of the Delta quadrant, and his YouTube channel The School of Life is pretty much like getting instructed by a Fi-LSI.

    Funny, I feel the opposite way. He looks to me like an aquatic mammal who can't take criticism and would tell a critic something very much like:

    I genuinely hope that you will find yourself on the receiving end of such a daft review some time very soon – so that you can grow up and start to take some responsibility for your work as a reviewer. You have now killed my book in the United States, nothing short of that. So that's two years of work down the drain in one miserable 900 word review...I will hate you till the day I die and wish you nothing but ill will in every career move you make. I will be watching with interest and schadenfreude.
    He also reminds me of an amphibian; particularly, one particularly disgusting and stupid, but with so little self-reflection that as soon as he wriggled his way into human society he wrote an entire book about being a classist snob.

    He's a charlatan posing as a philosopher. Related, here's an enjoyable, if vicious, article about him I enjoyed.
