Is she someone I should know? Otherwise I could see my peasant-ass joking about the same thing, especially if I’m grinding for a middle seat on a row that apparently didn’t even have a window.

Now, if she’s one of the privileged, that’s an entirely different joke.

Apparently she's an author of self help books. "#1 Bestselling Author of The Six Habits, CEO of Vision Advertising, TEDx Speaker and America's Happiness Coach."

#1 Bestselling Author of The Six Habits

Notice how Bestselling refers to author, not the book, and with her probably being the only author, she can prefix it with any superlative she wants.

CEO of Vision Advertising

Imagine calling yourself CEO unironically for the maybe 3 person gig you're running to have some overpaid management fill their calenders with instead of doing actual work.

TEDx Speaker

This is not the flex you (edit: she) think(s) it is

America's Happiness Coach

Complains about other travelers... preemptively.

Dont you have to fund getting a TEDx talk, Like they didnt invite you, you paid to have the time and platform.

[-] Laser@feddit.org 30 points 2 days ago

Yeah, TED as far as know invites you to present, TEDx you pay for a platform to talk on... which shows how much people value your message.

Ah, that makes more sense, I haven't seen either in years, but I remember thinking that they used to be decent but went downhill, I bet it was tedx I was seeing.

Both are trash now and are happy to push partisan rhetoric and outdated science.
