Which is horrible, humanities are needed now more than ever. I am unable to count the number of tech and business grads who have no appreciation for ethics, or art, or community.
I’m an engineer, I work with engineers. As a profession, we tend to lack EQ and real understanding of social issues.
A lot of the bad decisions that have had an outsized impact on society were naive decisions made by tech companies out of that ignorance.
If your knowledge of philosophy mostly comes from Stocism memes, you don’t know much. The existence of widespread belief in reptilian overlords and other stupid shit is evidence of people hungry for understanding, but who lack the knowledge to overcome their ignorance.
No one here has said this. Stop hallucinating.
"Your men thought so hard about if they could they never stopped to think about if they should!"
Money is the root of all evil! Specifically, money is means where whatever evil was done to achieve some amassing of "wealth", once converted successfully into "money" it is washed of its sins and passed onward to successive generations with no exposure. This is a core of money combined with the limited liability corporation, the other major sociopath-washing mechanism of capitalism.
Examples:
- southern chattel slavery
- oil/gas earnings with global warming
- cigarette industry
- prohibition-era criminal organizations, or really any outright organized criminals that manage to launder their money successfully
- Chinese and Russian oligarchs exfiltrating their fortunes to the West
The core component to the concept of money at the level of the elite is ethical and moral laundering.
Most this crap is propagandized via the slow walk through the institutions. Scumbag grievance studies have bloated the humanities and have infected respectable studies like philosophy. They’ve become focused on what to think, not how to.
If I wanted moralizing I’d go to church. At least they have the ethical decency to make paying optional to hear their opinions on how I should live.
Please elaborate
