Life, work

At the end of the 1990s, Paoli gained a certain degree of notoriety as the theoretician of the “happy unemployed” and co-editor of her magazine “idle gangster”. In 2003 he started his own business as a “demotivation speaker”. The results of his research are collected in the book Demotivational training (2013). From 2008 to 2013 he was employed at the Leipzig Central Theater as the “first national and perhaps the world's first house philosopher”. There he headed the “auditing company for sense and purpose” and ran a lively “philosophical practice”. From 2014 to 2017, he hosted the discussion series In the Center of Evil in the Red Salon of the Volksbühne on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz . In 2015 he called for resistance to the appointment of curator Chris Dercon as director of the Volksbühne. Paoli's attempt to found a new “People's Stage Movement” failed. In 2016 he was involved in the “Capitalism Tribunal” in Vienna.

In 2018–2019 he was involved in journalism for the French yellow vests movement , which resulted in the book Social Jaundice.
