With the invention of greater tools comes an absence of the human condition given it is being replaced by machines. Work is replaced by an elitism in technological progress where that which produces to most supercedes that which existed prior thus binding the person to the new terms of the working conditions through which they exist.
With the advancement of philosophy comes the same problems and behaviors of technological elitism where the average person is bounded by ideologies which are rarely put to question, much like various advances in technologies are not resisted, due to the advancement of a language into what only specific elites can understand. The expansion of language mirrors this same nature of that of the expansion of technology: neither are resisted but only accepted and this acceptance leads to a greater obscurity of the human condition. With the progression of one phenomenon to another comes a lack of clarity as to its roots.
Philosophy as a tool is language as a tool with the perpetual advancement of language effectively leaving many people to wander through an existential crisis under a blur of words which exist out of the common range of the individual. This reflects equivocably to certain tools being created which negate human labor, thus the human condition all together.
In seeking progress in survival there comes a double edge sword. The same progress meant for survival is that which can reduce it as well. This survivability of course being both literal and existential.

Obscurity of the human condition? Or alleviation of the human condition?With the advancement of philosophy comes the same problems and behaviors of technological elitism where the average person is bounded by ideologies which are rarely put to question, much like various advances in technologies are not resisted, due to the advancement of a language into what only specific elites can understand.

Existential crises and the human condition are connected.Philosophy as a tool is language as a tool with the perpetual advancement of language effectively leaving many people to wander through an existential crisis under a blur of words which exist out of the common range of the individual.
