THE LAMENT OF PHILOSOPHERS IS THE SAME AS HISTORIANS

There is a reason so many philosophers of the ancient world sought to detach from society – because once you are aware of the gordian not of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit, wound from a fiber of idiocy, immorality, and malincentives it causes cognitive and emotional overload.

historians say ‘Those of us who undrestand history are the victims of those who are ignorant of history.” But historians still seem to get along, because theyre documenting and explaining. Philosophers are not just documenting and explaining but trying to change the criteria by which we make our choices. And it’s very easy to come to see it as a futile effort.

For me it’s gone from a problem to a curiosity to a joy to a duty. And I only keep at it because of foolish white man enlightenment optimism I have no rational justification for maintaining. 😉
