PHILOSOPHY IS NOW AN ARCHAIC RELIGION

From atop our accumulated knowledge, the history of thought is valuable b/c it explains how difficult it’s been, how often we failed, why almost everyone failed, how the pursuit of truthful testimony(science) succeeded despite those failures – but that otherwise, it’s nonsense.

The study of philosophy is now, like the study of theology, just cultural anthropology – the study of an archaic and primitive literature stumbling in the dark as testimony (science) emerged from the imaginary, ideal, sophomoric, pseudoscientific, and occult.

By and large, all but some few digits to the right of the decimal point are possess both agency and consciousness – and only after disciplined study and experience. Otherwise the degree to which humans are just another self domesticated animal is humiliating.

Speech isn’t enough to demarcate human from beast.
