someone needs to give me the rundown on his big bald head first

That man is offensively bald.
It's like violence.

Why is almost everything he says and writes about love? Do you think he's ever touched a set of tits?

he's married and has kids. that means his peepee most likely ejected sperm into a vagina twice. i mean, not necessarily... not with todays possibilities of intrauterine fertilization. but it's possible

Quite honestly, I had no idea his background was so imposing.

Recommendations?

For Gods sake, please wear a hat or shave your hair off, you look like a teenager with cancer.

There's very little content in his writing. It feels like I'm reading the voice of money. None of it was capable of failing.

His book on Proust is pretty fun

For someone who talks very casually about sex and erotica he sure looks like he'd be involuntarily celibate.

school of life is garbage tbqh

hmmm, lets get to de botton of this

i've read quiet a few things of de botton. i'm curious, what exactly do you think he's wrong about? why does lit dislike him?
and pls give me something else than
>bald
>philosophers sweater

since when is the way you look tied to your philosophical capacity?
since when is it unreasonable to try to get money from idiots?

I can't stop looking at it. It's not like any other bald head. It's like his head shape calls for a totally normal ammount of hair, but then his baldness shows through. It's as if he shaved his head to look older and perhaps wiser, it's like he did it to himself, which gives him this creepy look you'd see on a radical person willing to give up his looks for a cause, like a franciscan monk, a hare khrishna or an otaku.

I've never watched The School of Life but de Botton has always had a shitty reputation. I remember referencing him in an essay I wrote during undergrad and later I felt really bad about that when I realised he basically writes philosophy for middle-aged women.

Yeah the essay about Proust is really good. Read it long ago and that gave me a very good judgment about the guy. Sad thing he's into commercial shit. That's philosophy as a prostitute.

He's the next Kant, no doubt.

His book about art was retarded self help shit.

yeah no thanks, not gonna listen to a guy that looks 32 but is aggressively balding preach about love and harmony

He has the face of a teenager with the top of an octogenarian.
When I look at it, I am reminded of my own mortality.
My life is flashing before my eyes, and it's a horror show.
Fuck this man and his pornography of gore.
I hope he chokes.
