Yes I too have a ' Thing' about philosophy and agree it is exhausting.....-much too many words. I am glad that some are now converted to memes. I don't think it actually TELLS you what to do but says what you SHOULD do occasionally with no hard lesson to be learned or one would not buy their next book which is their living>

I think that a collective " Lets not do as we are told" by the religions [and others who mean well, but have never experienced what we have ] IS the way forward in a movement called "AGNOSTICS"

Oh, hell no. I will NOT just do what I am told. I took my kid out of public school at age six, basically because they told him to just sit down and shut up. I wanted him to learn to reason.

To reason is to think, that's what rational people do
