The School of Life

Whats the only way for a white male to be truly free then?

This commercial is so fucking creepy too:

>all those dead eyes
>I learn about EVERYTHING in the universe here
>this is my home now
>we're a unique little gathering group who "talk about the real stuff", true enlightenment, etc

Oh boy, it's already starting

Get out of your head.

Cucking

>that notification bar

Maybe you do need to find a type of religion, user, because that is just plain ungodly. You brute, you devil-figure luring in the chaos
Clean and get cleansed

holy shit it really is a cult

Your early thirties is your prime, you have existential crises when your like 15

Boy, I cant wait to learn from THE CURRICULUM

> The best therapeutical music in the word
> Talking heads
> Kayne west
Holy shit.

I imagine how much this would cost. And if someone would be idiot enough to pay for it and still think they're somehow enlightened...
If you wanna get away from cities and consumerism, you go live in a farm, behging for food like a homeless. You don't fucking need to pay to live in a fancy house pretending to be a monk. This is the absolute most hypocritical thing I've ever seen. It's capitalism disguised as bucolic and humble and enlightened.

>Their music room has Wu-Tang Clan on the album rack

Ride the Tiger, son.

The fact that they have a million subscribers is worrying to me

They mostly make crude summations of popular thinkers and writers, this weird shit doesn't get nearly as many views.

You can literally buy that for less than 20$.
I liked their first few vids. But they just keep getting weirder and shittier

They produce easily digestible informational videos about philosophers, literature and other humanities. Using simple animations, relaxing voice overs and links it to some relevance. It makes the viewer feel smarter and is a pretty good introduction to many works and people.

Think of them as a blurb or an advert rather than actual content.

>Watched video
>this doesn't seem too culty
>Go to website
>not that bad
>get to "The Book of Life"

It blows my mind that these pseudo-philosophical cults are allowed to exist.

why do they even pretend they're philosophers? don't they want the tax break?

I don't understand why they did this but I really don't see an issue either. You rent the entire house for yourself(with friends). It's just like renting a vacation home or chalet, except it's for contemplation instead of sitting at a poll or skiiing.

My family has a small retraite on Texel where we go once a year to unwind, would be pretty sweet if it was designed better.

They even have their own The School of Life-branded philosophical porn: pornastherapy.com/

Yes, porn in the literal sense. You're supposed to masturbate to more high-brow material, friends/dear cult members.

I went to the site.

I'm so confused.

Your dick has been Enlightened, user.

So what can it do that my old unenlightened dick couldn't?

W o w.

Both of the girls in this were cute, at least.

i eventually started to read it in alain de buttholes cockhead voice and then I had to close the tab

It got too arousing?

Alain de Botton is retarded as fuck but damn those are some good albums.

What the fuck, are porn videos not enlightened enough? They need some kind of weird web-comic?

Yes, here's why: youtube.com/watch?v=85Ly9w3XsTo

You know what, I actually really really enjoyed this.

Of course the fact that it was obviously written by de Botton was a problem for me, the pretentious tone is disgusting let alone the fact that you can hear his voice in your head. Still it happened to work exactly as planned, not only did it make me extremely horny but I cared for the characters.

Actually I think it makes a lot of good or at least kind of valid points during the first couple of minutes. They didn't justify why they do what they do though, but just explained the objectives and not the "methodology" if you want to give it that name. Couldn't they just say "we're not gonna waste money on making an actual film" I guess.

I enjoyed it too, specifically the "responsability" one. But it might help that I skipped all the backstory and only started reading when the girl got naked.

God damn it this seems so pretentious but...it's pretty hot desu

Careful guys, this is how they recruit and capture members for their cult.
Next-up you'll ejaculate to the voice of de Botton alone.

Luckily I don't even know who is de Botton. Thanks god for making me live in a 3rd world shithole untainted by the influences of the eternal anglo and the degenerate west.

Its not getting any better.

Communism.

I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to go to Mount Athos and experience the real thing than to go there.

They started out making nice introductory videos to philosophy and other humanities, but wow, what the hell is this?

Paying way too much for inferior goods is just another way of showing how detached from the world you are.

The video does make a good point. The solution they offer doesn't seem very good.

This should just rediect to BLACKED

> come join us because we have intelectual qts too who want to sex people like you
> implying such girl would be around insecure '''''''''trend'''''''''' thinkers, even if she actually has interest for philosophy

Fuck this shit is destructive and their creators should die.

Jesus user, not everything in life is about sex or dating.

freud begs to differ.

Tell this to the early-thirties white males in their deep existential crisis.

If that's what they think they haven't feel an actual existential crisis.
/r9k/ers who cry themselves to sleep about being virgins belong to a different category

Freud is a quack

Are insecure about something?

jesus christ what the fuck

Shhh just take out your dick and touch yourself do it user
