    While I agree somewhat with this - his prose isn’t exactly the most quickly and easily digestible (at least to me). I often have to read ADB slowly.

    So I don’t think your point holds completely! Perhaps he’s a Nandos :p

    Well I’m glad you got that off your chest. I wasn’t using thesis in the acedemic sense. Even though you’re being a little huffy with the whole McDonald’s thingy you are entitled to your opnion of course. Overall, I think anyone who can move academic meditations, original or not into people’s living rooms is doing good work by my store. If ya don’t like McDonald’s try Wendy’s. Love Doc!

    its not his thesis . . .he is merely a mediator of philosphical thought that is not his own . . .he’s a form of ‘mcdonalds’ . . .he is good at referencing philosophical concepts and applying them in various frameworks . . .that means ‘presented in happy meal bite size chunks for the ipod generation’

    i’n not having a dig AT YOU PERSONALLY . . .

    I have never heard of this before, can you give any examples of this notoriety?

    Anthropology is based on empirical fieldwork with roots in the pragmatism developed by C.S.Peirce. Participant observation in less academic terms.

    This seems unlikely. Anthropologists have a notorious aversion to emprical data…

    De Botton has a lovely way about him. He’s able to communicate ideas in a str8 forward way. The idea that the poor in a more hierarchical system were happier is a bit hard to take. The slave and surf happier? But his overall thesis is both provoking and deeply engaging.

    Im not choosing sides here. I am watching just the start of this long series of Mr De Botton’s. But I feel sorry that you do not know Alain de bottons work Bluetigerlily. He is a fair and decent man with an honest albeit british opinion. I cant imagine him being biased toward europe. he I think is using in these scenes modern america as an example (the world is americanized, as you know)

  17. bluetigerlily Says:

    I am sorry Mr. …
    I am sorry Mr. Anthropologist but I could give a crap about your “data” and archaic field. Your studies have no “authority” over my life experience and personal observations. Live it first. Theory is just theory.

    Have a great life.

  18. bluetigerlily Says:

    Since you are …
    Since you are stating that your authoritative views are backed by data and theory, show me the theory that proves that Americans are as you say “Mediocre”. Your generalization puts your anthropological skills of observation and real field experience into question.

  19. bluetigerlily Says:

    With all of the …
    With all of the American cultural, scientific and innovative accomplishments I would say that the country has contributed far more to the world than most countries in a very short amount of time. It is a country of extremes. The last way I would describe its population is mediocre.

  20. bluetigerlily Says:

    Firstly my friend, …
    Firstly my friend, I am not American so I cannot be representing Americans with my views.

    Secondly, please explain the double standard and exactly where I “generalized about an entire continent’s populations”?

  21. bluetigerlily Says:

    If you are …
    If you are complaining about my stating that the program perpetuates “European anti-American clichés” then you are in denial. I have lived and worked in several countries throughout Europe. I myself am European. To pretend that those clichéd viewpoints are not out there is not realistic. I have experienced it consistently throughout Europe. This show is simply a refection of it.

    Best.

  22. yidaki53 Says:

    Hehe, such …
    Hehe, such double-standards you display. First complaining about generalising about a country’s population, then generalising about an entire continent’s populations. You’re just proving my image of the stereotype by doing that, since the US is “the country of double-standards”.

    I’m an anthropologist, all I do is generalise about cultures. Unlike you, I have both empirical data AND scientific theories, to legitimise my umed authority on the matter.

    Peace :)

    sorry for the typing error.

    ” but is biased” rather than ” but biased”

  24. bluetigerlily Says:

    This documentary brings up some interesting points about globalization, consumer culture and materialism but biased and full of tired anti-American clichés.

  25. bluetigerlily Says:

    The host is annoyingly pretentious and simplistic.

    The camera is constantly jumping to morbidly obese people in every second shot. It would be nice to see some objective and balanced perspectives. Anyone who has a decent education and some intellect cannot take this seriously. It is too bad that the strongest points are lost due to the heavy-handed aspects in the majority of this piece.
