Everybody should learn some philosophy.


I know you feel the urge sometimes, the inner impulse eager to know.
You feel there is some reason. You just can't tell.
And you don't know where to start to find by yourself.

Since I am a philosopher, I shall try to give you some advice on this.

First, it will never be a waste of time to learn philosophy. It will make a better you, in any way
you can possibly imagine. It's most probably a scheme that philosophy hasn't been regarded as
the main subject of modern education. It seems that some people want to keep us slave. Slavery is not what you think it is, but voluntary ignorance.

I will continue on this post, but I have to do things else right now.

But then in Parmenides, the character Parmenides attacks the theory of forms and is one of the few characters to best Socrates. So did Plato really advocate the theory of forms? Or did he originally and change his mind? Or did he never really believe it and offer it as food for thought only?

I believe becoming cultured is not a bad thing in itself. The snobby attitudes that come with it are my concerns. But if It can help you open your mind and see beyond the horizons I'm for it.
