Many modern people proclaim that philosophy doesn’t matter. It’s just impractical abstract ideas. What matters is facts.

But if you look around at our world, you will see that what is happening now is the result of philosophy, specifically nearly a hundred years of Marxism and Post-Modernism and so called "Critical Theory.”

The Left become skeptical of everything, even reason. Man is not capable of knowing the truth. We are merely sponges that absorbs whatever our culture tells us.

The Left has assaulted the idea of free speech in favor of speech that does not offend or frighten anyone. They decide what is permissible. People who dispute political sacred cows are "canceled” i.e. they are silenced and fired and prevented from working. It is like mobs who stoned old ladies accused of being "witches” or burned heretics in the town square in the Middle Ages.

Philosophers have taught that there is no right or wrong. Everything is "relative.” Might makes right. If you repeat the lie enough, people will believe. This in turn has justified propaganda, and silencing opposition.

And so what do these unimportant abstract ideas taught by philosophers mean today?

We see liberal cities burning in perpetual rioting. We find that disapproved ideas are silenced by politicians and corporatations. Propaganda and lies are justified as necessary means to re-educating the masses. Reason is ridiculed and ignored.

Individuals are told they must bow to the will of the majority, even if it means their own destruction. This is "democracy.”

Even science is now vulnerable to political propaganda. Science has become Dogma. Science is ruled by "consensus” (or popularity) and questioning sacred scientific dogma might get you fired. Examples, Climate Science, Covid-19 Science. The science of sexual differences.

Current events are a harsh lesson into just how much philosophy does matter. It is critically important.
