the assumption that it applies to all humans

Yes, it might go wrong with that. Sort of like scientismits claims are too broad.

Or like the idea of common reason. Something about the concept of common reason is promising, politically. Like an average or a majority. It makes politics possible. But whenever it because exclusive, it can be politically dangerous. Political freedom is necessary against the big ideas.

And so philosophy is not dead, because we still have to determine when a definition or theory is too broad and goes over the line.

I wonder what kind of a career boost someone with a bachelor’s in philosophy can expect in the marketplace. Not much, I imagine.

And have you come up with a better representation of a hierarchy than a pyramid yet?
