You see, the problem in these philosophy forums around the internet, very very stupid people are allowed to spew their stupidities forever more, because the admin and the mods usually are equally as stupid, neither has to produce a usable result, nor can they have their theories tested to see if they hold water, no, everything can be pure nonsense and babble.
What 99.999% of all these so called "philosophers" really want, is a cozy chat, and promote themselves and to feel self important, and naively think they get wiser reading all this endless nonsense and babble. Because neither have read science articles, at best some has read RT and SRT, but dunno really how to put it to use in the real world.
So would any of these cozy chatters do well in a big business? No ofc not, they are too stupid and ignorant of what to do and how to prioritize. They don't have any relevant knowledge, so they can never build bridges, do surgery, fly an airplane, have any strategical or tactical knowledge, they lack knowledge of policy, etc etc, so in essence they are utterly useless and you just can't handle this simple truth!
Ahhhh. The Blaaa.
Well that’s food for thought.
Let’s take it as a premise. Let’s say it’s true. How could it be true?
I think it lies in the schism of understanding the nature of University, and education.
In principle, scholars attend University.
In reality, the scholars are still there, though to exist within the remunerated scholoarly life requires, from what I’ve heard, navigating some kind of a weird, closed -world of rules and politics.
I think that the scholars are vastly outnumbered in Universities by job seekers and wanderers. University has been promised as the path to riches and more importantly, to constructively easing the suffering in the world by becoming a health care worker, engineer, etc.
The schism is, somehow job seekers have taken on the role of scholars, whereas in principle, to be a scholar requires a deep love and affinity for being schooled, and in turn, schooling.
Job seekers, not so much that. They want the knowledge and social contacts that will get them a job in order to participate in the dynamo of progress which is moving forward, always forward. That is, unless the job seeker goes into government, in which case the principle of the job will be to govern the forward progress of the dynamo. To throttle the throttle, so to speak, so that things don’t go so fast.
This throttle, working as the U.S. visa program for skilled workers, has proven to be overly effective in it's purpose.
I say that for a philosophy forum there is room for inductive reasoning. Everyone has experiences, everyone can attempt to form general principles from their particular experiences and observations, and others can provide their assessments of the principles.
