For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? Time is running out, find the Lord while you may For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Wow! I feel the same way. #brilliant 🎉

It’s wonderful to listen to the artist behind the work. Makes it even more impactful and relevant.

I love circles less now

Wow ! This kind of message brings me so much joy, can not agree more, fantastic, I so much identify with this view points, I discover philosophy very recently, but what I discover is that it was practically unside of me for the most part of my life, I am 58 today, but stylish and mentally jung and a bit experienced, I so much want to contribute to myself so I can then contribute to the world, in whatever way possible. Thank you very much for the emotional and mental accompainment Mr. Botton, greetings from Colombia, South -America.

Where are in the images I’ve seen, like what your say, but where is my black image?

4:18 brilliant!

The intelligibility of existence makes clowns out of atheists.

14:43 the idea that 'we are all broken and we need God to forgive us' is a good idea? To me it sounds like a recipe for creating beggars. You mentioned Nietzsche. Did you read 'The Antichrist'? If yes, what do you think of his opinion of Christianity?

I think we were symphonic music which then got speeded up to jazz and has now gone off the cliff and we are falling from grace.

same level as other great thinkers of the past this man

As many as his talks are, this one is just as interesting and marvelous. There are even ones that I talk about on my channel like those on TED and Google. They are pretty good as well. Such a great speaker with a great mind!

Quick feedback: great video but the editing elements and background sounds are a lil bit distracting.

this is not the age of philosophy...

His comments on forgiveness resonated with me...its in short supply in our modern societies...and its always been the mechanism through which we are encouraged to think, act and do things...because we know if we make a mistake we wont be punished in perpetuity. In its absence, people become less inclined to think objectively, take any risks and lead less fulfilling lives

Possibly my favourite contemporary public intellectual, he's just great! Enormously influential on my own life and I go back to him time and again.

Jailed for his opinion, Switzerland is a tyrannical state, and is worse that Russia.

17:50 "You've got to eat while you dream." Eat for today and dream for tomorrow. You can't do one and not do the other, or you won't have a long term company - but you can't just dream, because tomorrow's share owners will throw you out. 21:00 Hiring W's vs misfires

I wish he had been my teacher when i going to school. I would have been psychologically and emotionally more balanced and preared for the years ahead, abd saved me so mugh oain, i made, so many bad emotional decision that altered my life in a drastic ways. I hate there thinking about dose years. The one thing that ring true, when he said, "we must learn to forgive, learn from it, and move on.

Theres a market for philosophy, emotional intelligence, in our schools and workplace, to prepare our youth for the hard tuff life that lies ahead.

"His shoes were violently resistant to elegance" LOL, he didn't know the fashion of Crocs were coming very soon

Congratulations

“A part of everyday alone, thinking”….. me too

Loved this conversation so much. His thinking is fun and engaging. Thank you.

OMG. Academics didn't kill philosophy. CAPITALISM DID.

This is the best Alain de Botton interview I've watched

Ran across this video while searching how to phonetically write my last name. A website seems to be scraping youtube to learn how to pronounce names; clever idea. I then ended up listening to the whole interview.

Very shallow and useless lecture. You don't learn b anything new... Just a waste of time.

How do I get that job? I'm dyslexic and I've read multiple books and even wrote my own panflet one on investing principles. I hate talking in front of people, but I relate a lot to this guy. I wonder if he tries to fi d the right things to repeat in a new way or if he tries to recommend his own memes. I know he repeats history on purpose. Seems like an amazing guy.

Adorable and such an accessible man! He's a blessing for humanity.

I love Alain de Botton 🥰 🦋

Everything is in the Resurrection. He wishes it wasn't and so do a lot of people.

Guys, consciousness appears to be what the ancient yogis kept talking about. What is it to be? What is it to simply exist? What is the “iss-ness”?? There is also a lot of “unknown” information as to how humans operate. As to why we have creation myths. As to why we have a concept of a creator or god. As to why we have a sense of morality. Also, there is a theory that we must become constructive members of society. I don’t believe so. What can one contribute to a game or system they don’t identify with or like? We can become anything we want because that is what’s right for us, we each have unique abilities, whether appreciated by society or not. There is no thing to conform to. People say idea’s don’t often reach places of power, maybe because power requires an alternative toolset. And if our current society values the power toolset then we are asking those with non-power toolsets to work on a structure they aren’t here to build. Every toolset will allow the individual to build their own unique structure.

All in US govt. love China, they get presents, big wads of money and more. I think their sons like the children from China the best. See evidence on laptop. Hurry.

I wouldn't trust artificial intelligence, no way! This is no patient care.

But your dentistry must only be for the rich . . . so sad.

Good that you went the extra mile and still going. Not many dentists are like this. Never met one other than you. Health care is so appalling and medieval.

''violently resistant to elegance''🤣

self meditation and philosophy should be done BY ALL I think that free thinking and asking the big questions is crucial for everyone!

Humans just don't trust other Humans I don't think we can ever get around this.

I don't know about energy prices going to 0 I SEE THEM GOING UP!

Can someone tell the title of the music on 10:49?

He's not talking like a philosopher and according to me he is more like a "life coach or something".
