Thank you!!

The economic model is quite relevant to the new vision introduced by Klaus Schwab almost 50 years ago, is exact from 2019 is exactly what this Harvard is citing its motivation a refreshment of the Davos Manifesto in 2020: all its stakeholders in shared and sustained value creation Value is defined in a very special way. not material, commodity, value money wealth, this abstruse notion of value or wealth that includes leisure time, relationship quality, beauty of nature and all other kind of abstract that come in under well-being economies and ecological accounting (you own nothing but you are happy) The Corruption of Stakeholder Capitalism.

I'm deeply impressed by this. I came across similar material, and it was truly remarkable. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

I love Epicurus and I love Alain de Botton

I used to like this guy's stuff very much until I realized that there is nothing profound or even helpful in any way in what he says. Pretty much every video on his channel has a condescending tone and builds his points in a very childish way and generalizes every argument without any proof to sustain his own capitalist conservative views of the world. There's nothing groundbreaking in his work and it shouldn't be taken as advice. In my view, he's the Elon Musk of philosophy and psychology. A scam. My advice is to unsubscribe from The School Of Life and go to therapy. I guess I should say that in a rich British man's voice for it to be valid. Well, I can't. His business relies on the fact that most people don't have the time or money to really work on themselves and I think that is a gross case of exploitation to the point where it almost feels like a cult. His glorification of capitalism in this speech is truly sickening. I don't know why anyone would speak in such a fashion about the biggest cancer of human society. It is elitist and extremely insensitive towards the huge majority of the world's population.

Fascinating examples!

How is capitalism good for the poor? It seemed he jumped right to that conclusion. Capitalism is great for the rich and those well off, but seriously, an essential aspect of capitalism is the highest yield for the lowest cost, i.e., low wages. Unchecked grow, which forces the cost of basic needs above the reach of lower income people...just to name a few of its problems.

If the world has 50 more Alain De Bottons. That would make the world a lot saner place. But incredibly grateful for having at least 1

too little interesst in this. Someone needs to make a interessting fun presentation like this with more pictures bigger screen and more fun stuff or "crazy sounding/relly mindexpaning" case examples of general trends and points etc. A ted talk would not be bad. "What do you think when you think of charity? Giving food to kids? Here are some misconceptions of chairty aka what are the hard numbers bla bla bla here some ideas. bla bla here some strategys to figure out clobaly how charity ressources are allocated bla bla what issues should be focused on. Shortterm vs longterm. Sad adhd depressed rich guy or happy /blissful healthy poor guy. Hwo needs help? Cant identify so ignore? bla bla Structural issues = black money holes? But nice

Alain, you marvelous human being!

Wow 😳this is food for thought 🧐 great talk 👌

♥️

I really enjoy listening to that guy...

incredible

Most companies deliver physical goods, which by nature target the base needs. The higher levels are more abstract. Yes, they manifest as singers, poets, religious/thought leaders, but also as clubs and organizations based on shared interests. They have market products, too (CDs, books, shows, memberships). Of course, even the higher level of community that is offered online (or over the air as shows) has to be resourced with ads for products targeting lower needs (primarily, but higher level needs like vacations and insurance are included). I wasn't 100% in line with the explanation that having a luxury goods economy helps the poor by generating money that can be donated. In my view, it also creates a larger labour market, which reduces the proportion of unemployed. We will never eliminate "poorness", but we can mitigate it.

“There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet. Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading - that is a good life. A day that closely resembles every other day of the past ten or twenty years does not suggest itself as a good one. But who would not call Pasteur’s life a good one, or Thomas Mann’s?” Annie Dillard "A Writing Life"

Love listen you...I'm french speaker from Cameroon , doing my best to understand , because so interesting...hope will have french translation of your video

Please don't expose your higher needs to the market

Hmmmmmm i Will no more be ungry at capitalism😁🤓.good to know that there is a LOT to learn😬

I agreed with all he said until he mentioned Facebook. He's right in so far that Facebook did have a chance of staying on the top of that pillar but unfortunately they've sunk now to the bottom because they've chosen greed and the accumulation of wealth to their actual good intentions of bringing people together. They have sold themselves out. They have prioritized money regardless where it's coming from.

Thanks, he is an amazing and brilliant person!

The title of this doesn't really line up with his lecture.

'Global peak oil production may have already happened in October of 2018. It is likely the decline rate will be 6%, increasing exponentially by +0.015% a year (see post “Giant oil field decline rates and peak oil”). So, after 16 years remaining oil production will be just 10% of what it was at the peak.' No oil, no 'civilisation'.

Thank you for the video. He is brilliant

OMG this is incredible. Thank you 😍

Not everyone is sleeping🌹

Listening to this in a library, and I had to stop myself from shouting 'Ghostbusters!' every time he asked "Who do you call?"

Why does this have so little engagement ? (views, likes, comments) This was a great talk, and indeed what needs to happen, let's make it so.

No one: Alain before he starts everything: "Who's here already married but.."

Exploitation & Facebook. So true

Most brilliant conclusion of 2021 for me thus far...billion dollar industries on passive aggression and higher up maslow hierarchy of needs

Very simplistic and arguably inaccurate way of understanding the Christian moral. Very interesting talk however

ummm I heard him say capitalism is just getting going and in 400 years it might be catering to our higher needs in order for it to really succeed? Well the real truth may be that as Derek Jensen says we might have FOUR years left before we all drown or get burned alive or squeezed out from the same... with nothing to start over with...due to the excesses of climate change which is a direct result of capitalism. But I forgot. De Bottom is a monetized you tube liar and people are also dying on human junkheaps from the excesses of capitalism and dying in the streets and private homes from the excesses of loneliness. SHAME on him. He's funny and quick and rich and WRONG. Talk to me someone. I need a friend.

2300: notice what is missing in a typical day. That is a new business idea.

03:18 The definition of a “meaningful job”

Fascinating talk. However, I can't help but surmise this is essentially a "feel good" talk that prolongs the life of the unhealthy modern capitalism. Baptising capitalism if you like

Who dislikes this???! I’m curious

I like Alain, but his trickle down economics have been widely debunked - super-rich luxury is killing the planet, and global tax avoidance is rampant. He's great on personal values, but maybe less so on wider economic and political theory.
