They're back at it again. How long til it's a full-blown mass suicide cult?

>stay... stay... never leave this dark dungeon of "soul searching"....
When does group philosophy cross-over to becoming a cult?
Don't forget to buy your outfit before going so you can be a real philosopher/cult member
>>1187233
To capitalize on your white male early-thirties existential crisis.
The only way to be immaterialistic and find something greater in life than "buy consume die" is to buy their products obviously, Anon. So you can signal to others you're not a sheep like them. You have The Philosopher's Sweater™ after all.
>>1187233
shitloads of money of course
>>1187306
No but that's all of /fa/, literally.
>What are the most /fa/ cigarettes to smoke, you guys??
>>1187107
>>1187107
Literally the first sentence is already culty
this is molyneux tier
>>1187265
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
>>1187607
Oh boy, it's already starting
>>1187642
Get out of your head.
>>1187642
Cucking
>>1187607
>that notification bar
Maybe you do need to find a type of religion, Anon, because that is just plain ungodly. You brute, you devil-figure luring in the chaos
Clean and get cleansed
>>1187658
holy shit it really is a cult
>>1187265
Your early thirties is your prime, you have existential crises when your like 15
Boy, I cant wait to learn from THE CURRICULUM
>>1187107
> The best therapeutical music in the word
> Talking heads
> Kayne west
Holy shit.
>>1187107
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
>>1187642
Ride the Tiger, son.
The fact that they have a million subscribers is worrying to me
>>1190448
They mostly make crude summations of popular thinkers and writers, this weird shit doesn't get nearly as many views.
>>1190448
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.
>>1187107
>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.
>>1187107
why do they even pretend they're philosophers? don't they want the tax break?
>>1187107
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: http://pornastherapy.com/
Yes, porn in the literal sense. You're supposed to masturbate to more high-brow material, friends/dear cult members.
>>1191383
I went to the site.
I'm so confused.
>>1191444
Your dick has been Enlightened, Anon.
>>1191447
So what can it do that my old unenlightened dick couldn't?
>>1191383
W o w.
>>1191457
Both of the girls in this were cute, at least.
>>1191383
i eventually started to read it in alain de buttholes cockhead voice and then I had to close the tab
>>1191487
It got too arousing?
>>1187107
Alain de Botton is retarded as fuck but damn those are some good albums.
>>1191383
What the fuck, are porn videos not enlightened enough? They need some kind of weird web-comic?
>>1191523
Yes, here's why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Ly9w3XsTo
>>1191383
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.
>>1191527
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.
>>1191540
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.
>>1191383
God damn it this seems so pretentious but...it's pretty hot desu
>>1191584
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.
>>1187642
Communism.
I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to go to Mount Athos and experience the real thing than to go there.
>>1187107
They started out making nice introductory videos to philosophy and other humanities, but wow, what the hell is this?
>>1187265
Paying way too much for inferior goods is just another way of showing how detached from the world you are.
>>1191527
The video does make a good point. The solution they offer doesn't seem very good.
>>1191383
This should just rediect to BLACKED
>>1187658
> 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.
>>1191866
Jesus Anon, not everything in life is about sex or dating.
>>1191950
freud begs to differ.
>>1191950
Tell this to the early-thirties white males in their deep existential crisis.
>>1192112
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
>>1192024
Freud is a quack
>>1194182
Are insecure about something?
>>1187107
>>1191383
jesus christ what the fuck
>>1194204
Shhh just take out your dick and touch yourself do it anon
feel the spirit
