What do you guys think of School of Life's philosophy videos?
>>7988162
Getting preachier with each upload
Lol what bout their lit videos
>>7988162
They are pretty good. I enjoy them. They are not bogged down by metaphysical drivel.
>>7988167
They are quite biased and preachy but ultimately I like them because they show the backgrounds behind philosophical ideas and the lives of philosophers as well as examples of these philosophies in practice.
I unsubscribed when they uploaded that video about how religion was just a coping mechanism for mothers and their dead children.
>>7988167
This actually.
They distort a lot of people views to fit their punctual little life morals.
>>7988162
Way too watered down to be of any substantial worth.
Factual errors, misinterpretation, bad philosophy, pop philosophy, degenerate, no depth, dumbed down, egoist, reddit.
>>7988187
Yup - definitely very watered down.
propoganda channel that has no idea what they're talking about
>>7988195
Propaganda for what exactly?

Public orgies.
>>7988182
this
>>7988162
Utter garbage.
>>7988232
And that is bad, how?
>>7988162
Sounds incredibly boring, I hate having to listen to someone talk for longer than a couple of minutes, if you want to explain something just write it down instead.
>>7988212
Their store
>>7988162
Philosophy should be learned by reading books and studying at university. Anything else is shallow garbage and the easy way out. You can't just teach yourself by watching mindless YouTube videos.

Meme tier opinion.

What about this guy?

who in their right mind even needs to have pop culture explained to them through youtube videos. I kind of understand simplifying philosophy but pop culture is in no need of more simplifying.
>>7988162
it's pretty shit. stopped watching them 6 months ago when he had some hot girl basically read a wikipedia paragraph on nietzsche
comment section is cringe also

i've never made it past 15 mins of his lectures, he's so fucking boring. jordan peterson is better.
school of life is pretty hit or miss and getting more no the side of miss these days. The recent one on sublimation was actually good though
>>7988162
Why do they misrepresent Christian philosophers?
I like them for entertainment, but if I am trying to actually educate myself I read the works of the people.
Pop philosophy is cancer.
>>7988162
It's bad.
>>7988182
tru
I like most of their videos bite sized philosophy and bite sized biography is just what I want sometimes.

>If the will of the majority can be respected in politics, then it should also be respected in aesthetics
Fucking dropped right then and there.

The ending is pure horseshit speculation. I really don't think the attitude of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is a marketing tactic to sell you ugly products. That's just absurd. Whether beauty is objective or not (I happen to think it's not) the relativist position is clearly just a product of our post-modernist society.
I don't know about their 'philosophy' videos, but their videos about life are fucking terrible. They're full of crazy assumptions and generalizations.
I'd put money on them being written by some braindead 25-year-old. They certainly all seem to come from the point of view of someone that is seriously struggling to be an adult and is surrounded by yes men.
>>7991585
long, boring and self-satisfied
>>7988162
It's pretty fedora-tipping, desu. Oftentimes this leads to them misreading certain philosophers, ex: Kierkegaard.
>>7991804
policing?
>>7991585
Stopped reading when he went on about how ugly he is. Why do people get upset that someone summarizes the ideas of philosophers for people to see if their work will interest them?
i want to fuck that one slag talking about the dionysian
otherwise it's shit
