What do you think of the pop philosophy pushed by educational companies like London Real and the School of Life?

What's their real intent? Are they just trying to become the millennial equivalent of self-help books?

This dude sounds like such a fag. I've never met a professor that seemed to truly comprehend Nietzsche beyond his most basic truisms about "self-overcoming". I can't comprehend how there are so many idiots who read Nietzsche and somehow think he's an individualist liberal, like holy shit

'emotionally intelligent' ... fuck me... this is for those people who buy rhino horn carved fertility symbols where the very fact of owning this symbol is a sign that you need such a symbol.

I knew a start-up which had 'innovator' printed on all their staff t shirts.
