Time for Philosophers to Step up to the Plate

  1. Religions have either failed in their attempts to promote love or their intentions were never completely sincere/genuine from the beginning.

  2. Science is non-sentient … no place for emotions … confirmed by AI.

  3. Politics has always played second fiddle to science or religion.

  4. Philosophers are our only hope.

Some soothing words …

One problem here is that most philosophers are either religious, political or both. Most are also either pure technicians or otherwise trying to be as scientific as possible.

K: I believe it is also the barren, empty, sterile thought of philosophy and
philosophers that make it impossible for them, for now, to be the “saviors”
of mankind… Philosophy must connect and become part of our lives instead
of being esoteric… meant for the few who understand its specialize
language… Philosophy needs a new Socrates who brings philosophy
back to earth…

Two more potential reasons from another thread:

  1. Philosophers lack the fortitude/courage to step into the line of fire. For the past 2,500 years philosophers have remembered the price Socrates paid for stepping into the line of fire … the price hasn’t changed. The consequence being philosophers opted to bark from the shadows … a bunch of gutless Poster Boys.

  2. A lack of faith in the cause. Not sure what Gib means by ‘cause’.

The failure of religions created the opportunity for science to emerge as King.

The combined failures of religions and science have created the current opportunity for philosophy to emerge as King … save the best for last. :slight_smile:

Dominance of a regional philosophy is not the answer. We need a small community of philosophers who are adept at cherry picking and knitting. Select the nuggets from all major philosophies, all major religions, all sciences and knit them together into a cohesive whole … a kernel … that the masses can rally around.

Just read the following statement in another article … seems relevant … maybe. :slight_smile:

So many regions captured with so few words. :slight_smile:
