Though the human mind can think philosophically, for its own good, and for the continuation of the species, it had better make reality the primary way of viewing the world ...

Am I not correct in stating that philosophy and philosophers considerably preceded the sciences and the scientific method?

As for the continuation of the species, there is one key that shows us how to adapt to anything: Judeo-Christianity. Its values and about 9,000 generations of our Western predecessors striving for them, is what got us to where we are right now, writing freely on our computers and pursuing in a slavery-free society our own destinies as we choose. Judeo-Christian values are proven antidotes to the problems we struggle with today and as humans forever. Species survive by adaptation; the bible tells us how to adapt spiritually and philosophically to each other. Without it, we are crude barbarians -- though too many of us don't realize it because we've forgotten where we came from.

In other words, don't put the cart before the horse. Philosophical groundwork is the horse that pulls the cart of science and progress and quests for knowledge. Judeo-Christian "philosophy" is a divine gift that guides us in continuation of the species.

WELL PUT.

Though the globalists have pretty well all but overtly established their new global tyrannical slave society.

WELL PUT.

I'm a bit skeptical, though, that some naysayers have the capacity to wrap their understanding fully around such wisdom given that they can't seem to comprehend that

someone who refuses to give them a microgram of chaff information is not about to consent to giving them 1,000 Kg of cherished information.

Perhaps the existence of numerical sequences . . . resulting in 1,000 being much greater than 0.000001 has escaped their comprehension.

I asked for proof of aliens from other planets coming to Earth. It hasn't been provided. Debates over idealism and realism and theism is just so much noise and confusion.

Where's the proof?

The horse was sent to the glue factory a century ago.
