Thinking
If you would be taken by some external force, with everything that you can call knowledge to defend the minimization of human freedom, you would only be able to consider the metaphysical existence of a thinking mind. Ignorance is a gem. Someone decided to call it the mind, despite not acknowledging its structure.
The conditions that will let you score higher in the scale someone defined for life, ambiguous and limiting, has put you inside a box. If this is the reality you will have to face, that’s the reality you will need to master. You can’t trust what you see using the five senses. You can act by theoretical connections and societal acceptance. You’d be crazy to want to be a sane philosopher. They have no place in the modern world.
You are led to believe and have faith. When you don’t, and answers are not as obvious you will be limited to two case scenarios: resign from thinking or lose a degree of mental sanity. So many questions, the question becomes the answer.
