Media should reduce their expectations in view of the intellect of all living Philosophers of these days, in all nations, with or without Dynamite Prizes, based on the following of Story of the "Ant-hill".
Principles of 2009 Philosophers
Modern Philosophers are only worried about daily and very short-term matters:
Democracy, justice, socialisation, equal rights, acceptance of Status-quo, funny regulations between rich and poor folks, simulation over fine human conditions - in short: All philosophers seem only interested in the nice functioning of social life and human behaviour of a "Don't worry - be happy" world. Modern philosophers ignore all the rest: Real condition of the Earth, its ecology, economy, politics, resources, limits of greed and growth, human commonsense in higher fields. Philosophers know nothing. Their topic is solely a cunning functioning of social life on a lost Planet.
Therefore, we need as example the story of the "ANT-HILL"
"Same Ants made lots of nonsense, wars, torture, rotten economy, bubbles with finance, resulting in huge unemployment, justice for the rich and powerful - and injustice for the rest. Some Ants were very rich and others extremely poor. Many ants died from diseases, hunger, rotten water, junk securities and some of their fine matters, perpetrators had produced before.
So, many of the Ants committed suicide or starved from hopelessness, hunger or bad water.
Then same crazy philosophers came, convinced the frightened Ants about democracy, justice, equal rights, promising no poverty - when still the populations exploded - but their habits became always more human.
Very surprising: None of the Ants looked up to heaven. They mist the point: Far away some super-storm with very black clouds came nearer and one day, a terrible storm with endless water-floods wiped away the whole Ant-hill for all times. And so, all Ants, the rich and the poor, the intellectuals and the shit-in-brains, got killed and rotten for ever.
During the process went on, the whole Ant-folks was stunned and looked out for the guilty VIP. But lots of crazy Ant-philosophers cried loud before dying: "Why, the hell, did not one VIP tell us that this monster-storm and water-flood would be coming? Why was not one shitty philosopher looking up in the sky?" The Perpetrators looked out for victims, they may declare as scapegoat.
As always, there was just one single normal ant shouting back: "It's easy: When Ant-philosophers are stupid and knew nothing - who the hell should have given alarm? For Centuries, you were so very important, idiot-ants with zero intellect, geniuses with your rotten universities, getting Dynamite Prizes, managing banks and governments and some god-damned factories, all of them diffusing deadly poison in masses into the eco-sphere. It was YOU who never wanted to know, how your logics and systems produced the predictable disaster, based on your stupidity. Not one of your philosophers understood one little thing about ecology, economy, politics, end of resources. Self-destruction of a planet by ants without brains, was your program. On the other side, you knew all about basic human needs, all about their endless greed and rotten ideas for deadly growth, when any child-ant could have seen: Mass-laws and trillion figures in cash and junk would result in what you can see now. Any dog could have predicted this end of the story, based on any mathematical basis scientists may have chosen----"
So much for our superior Species - the Ants.
Same scenario goes for whole Humanity, some lower species, since 200 years
It is funny that our shit-in-brains, VIP talking now of our philosophers, always had an education and knowledge on very, very, very restricted fields. They were always specialized in nothing, when talking of HUMAN behaviourism - and were kissed on their asses for doing so - by parliament members, bankers, and especially the so-called "normal" folks, plus lower ones in Feuilletons - and the rest of human philosophers grinned like idiots when clear and commonsense questions came up, covering the sense of theories on economics, limits of liveability on a very restricted globe and about all the multi-forces that function outside the human social life, when in fact being totally dependent for future life, on 100 percent of over-sight on real and relevant facts within a complete CHAOS of systems.
Take our intellectual heroes: Take Habermas, Sloterdijk, Popper, Glucksman, Levy, Foucault, Fukuyama, Agamben, Derrida, Sartre, Huntington, Bush, Berlusconi, Obama, take 90 percent of Machiavelli philosophers of all Times, take all the theorists on any rotten principles of economics, having all their limits of intellect in stupid feasibilities - it was all the same.
Humanity faced at all times only hypocrite junk of thoughts, wanting to please some rich idiots, instructed to bluff the establishment, who in turn did not understand one principle and taught ordinary folks not to be thinking properly and profoundly along the line:
"Criminal and stupid Human-Gods come first - but the rest-world, the Planet, can get rotten"
Perhaps some outstanding brains had other topics of higher order in their intellect: Karl Marx, Bertrand Russell, J.J. Rousseau, Descartes, Galileo, some Old Greeks, non-religious or non-esoteric thinkers of less fame, but with higher sight of an overall problem of living on a restrictive planet, where at length not even one billion of mass-folks could survive in a modern cash and technology society like ours.
But the rest of humans, with its holocaust of animals and nature, was good enough to be thrown down the hill, down the drain. And the critics in literature and philosophy understood never more, as why shit was stinking, brains well functioning on wrong assumptions and some philosophers even knew how to get higher sense out of any nonsense---
Now, times have come to look up to the sky and to see coming the black clouds of final days
Economics
Finally comes the end-days in economic life of rotten idiots. The virtual money-world has found ways to shatter all the proceedings in world-economy, called by joke "Real Economy". The stupids are masters in finding the right words. Even if our Masters in charge would find ways for just one other Hype, this world of a rotten reality would go down to hell with us, for sure. There are no functioning principles of economy anymore.
Ecology
After taking out of balance of weather and climate with trillion tons of deadly poison, result of greed, growth and stupidity, we have the situation, where with quadrillions of Dollars, water-floods wiping us away cannot never more be prevented any more. No G-200 would achieve such wonder. If not water-floods, dryness will exhaust water-reserves and nourishment production. If not dryness, some monster-waves, hurricanes, super-storms will get rid of towns and woods and production of nourishment and industrial areas. And anyway, economy alone could do it.
Resources and energy
All easy-going resources and energy has been transformed by ants, sorry, apes, sorry, snakes, I want to talk of the most idiotic species in the world - the humans, the humans - they have with the consent and blindness of "philosophers of zero knowledge" transformed all in deadly poison, killing the ant-hills. God be thanked. Stupidity x Power = Self destruction became finally true. Would not have been easy for me to go into the grave without proof of facts. And so, it was time for a stupid Species to come to its natural end.
Wars, torture and politics
Wars, torture and politics is exactly the same matter. No difference of Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Hu and Wen, Bush and Obama. Had we been given able politicians and no shit-in-brains, destructing humanity and its planet, we had banished wars and torture and nature destruction long-time from the Globe, just as well as injustice, settlements and any useless richness in merger-cash at Wall Street, producing criminal poverty and injustice for the 90 percent, long, long, very long time ago.
One real decision of real philosophers, and our dying planet could have been a paradise.
Under the conditions given, when the criminal Popes of any religion and some hypocrite U.S. Ronald-Limbaugh Evangelicans out of USA brought the whole world to its end-days, by dictating the eternal growth of populations with naturalised greed and growth, masses living in China, India, Africa and the worst Rogue-State of them all - USA - well, there has never been a principle of hope for humanity and future generations of humans, animals and all the rest of zero importance.
We had the Philosophers and Theorists of economics, this rotten planet EARTH deserved.
I think, God, as real idiotic principle, since the shit-in-brains have no idea of what God could be, should go out of this galaxy - in fact, HE went long time ago. Ignorance of science and philosophy is true also for eternity in time, endlessness in space, justice, equality, life in slums, holocaust of animals and Pinochet, missing safeguard of nature, based on dictatorship of dull majorities, directed by completely blind power-men and their relativity-writers with Dynamite Prizes hanging at their walls----
Well, the rest it's you, folks - you have to write on this text. I only hope that the final water-flood would wipe away that criminal ant-hill of stupids very soon. The suffering of the innocents could be shortened, if the powerful shit-in-brains could not further develop their criminal blindness for many years to come. All must be ended before 2100. Or God gets a real problem.
