@SamHarrisOrg@bdobro Im a big fan. Your work has helped me greatly, but you are getting close to insulting people here. Not just bad ideas. -
@GoldsmithPhotos@SamHarrisOrg@bdobro what I have read of de Botton def qualifies as pretentious; made a career of it; criticism fair IMO -
@PTNoo@SamHarrisOrg@bdobro Admittedly, I know nothing of de Bottom and he WAS pretentious. Pinker handled it great. "calm reason.. "
