Redesigning Porn With Alain Botton

I’ve never heard of Alain but he’s a philosopher who has addressed the subject of love, happiness and religion and now plans to take on the porn industry.

He wants to unite leading figures from the porn industry and the arts to bring about a new kind of pornography which he describes as being more socially acceptable and fit for thoughtful, good human beings.

Hmmm, being a consumer of porn myself I don’t know if I’m happy with him implying that I’m not a good human being.

You can read what he has to say here and form your own opinion on the man and his quest here.
