Philosophers of these days know nothing - and the consequences
It is extremely funny: Since 2000 years, humanity experiences a one-eyed development into a technological cash-industry disaster on a small planet, governed by some Gods, and the philosophers, all VIP and scientists were blind to the facts.
Today the process of self destructions strives to the skies, and all brains worldwide accelerate the process of life-basis towards a final disaster. Any normal child could recognize within seconds the overall craze, if wrong ideals, education and feeling in big humanised thinking, towards wrong systems and ideals, would not have become part of everybody's existence.
And there are some responsible VIP who will bring the final nail into the coffin:Ever heard the names of Habermas, Glucksmann, Sloterdijk, Honneth, Agamben, BHL Levy, Huntington, Summers, Fukuyama, Rorty, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Geithner, Bush, Obama, Putin, Thatcher, Videla and Gaddafi?
They are assumed to be the greatest Philosophers of present times.
All people believe we would have today the greatest thinkers of all times, with all our great technological achievements, huge investment banks and hedge funds, fine highways, airports and Wal Marts around Bill Gates and IBM, at present high-times at the end of history - to be for certain high up above Plato, Socrates, Descartes, Pascal, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Russell, Popper, Friedman, Sartre, Derrida and Narkozy, of course.
This is Error: With philosophy it's like with the phenomenon about Music: Bach, Mozart, Grieg, Pergolesi, Vivaldi, Monteverdi, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Dvorak, Berlioz etc. of the old days were high up to present genial Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Presley, X-Men, Funky Boys, Roaring Rappers - and other blind mice, adored by present crowded societies like GODS. Therefore, we should go deeper into this topic:
a. What did the PAST Philosophers know?
Past philosophers knew nothing about 7 billion of folks on a little planet. Nothing of limits of growth, nothing of exhausting resources and energy, nothing of rotten Oceans and lands, where deserts under rotten climate are exploding, due to the incredibly low sight on realities of our beloved philosophies of the past.
Because all philosophers treated only human behaviourism since Plato to Derrida, never getting anything about limits of greed, growth, profits, turnovers and stupidity of Greenspan, Ronald, Thatcher and Chicago School of Karl Popper and Fukuyama, we are in the misery now.
In the past, the question was, how to behave to get rich, to get Machiavelli power, to take poor believers in the Christian God for fools, how to change original folks in Africa and Asia and South America into Jesus-Boys, by killing them because they did not want to hear lessons about a true and only God sitting with the Popes around round-tables in Rome all the time. They did not want to learn more about technology, atom power, one billion cars on streets and thousands of useless planes in the sky, flying around as long as not some fine rockets fall on Afghan families.
In fact, the religion was not God Almighty or Jesus Christ or Mohammed or Buddha, the lesson was "Kindergarten-Fortschritt" - always getting further on destructive and deadly paths, advance in money schemes of stupidity to the advantage of the powerful and richest junk, not paying taxes, when the poor had to burden all charges of nations.
b. What do the MODERN Philosophers know?
Modern philosophers like Habermas, Huntington or Levy (in fact all philosophers living now) talk a lot of democracy, without understanding that this ideal would mean, to say "Dictatorship of dull majorities" - because majorities of average intellect run always behind any average minded or even more stupid Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Pinochet, Putin, Merkel, Sarkozy or Berlusconi.
Learn once for all: The Average of folks is dull, because they are influenced by neo-liberalism of conservative junk in Republican U.S. congress, where as the U.S. democrats and Blair socialists are just as left as Stalin, when he sent all real communists in the GULAG or in torture cellars in any town inside Russia. Same goes for Mao and his bunch of democrats during a "revolution of culture" killing - like in Chile and Argentina - the real intellectuals of the land.
Take the lessons of Popper and Friedman and most of other geniuses about fine U.S. "freedom"-functioning of market-economy without controls, but the adored heads at Universities could not see in time the savings destruction of banks, rotten environments, exhausting grounds - during the rapid downfall of students' intelligence, based on false fundamental teaching.
Levy and Sloterdijk talk of Bubbles in the Sky, of "how nice if the globe would be social, in peace with itself" and Narkozy and Brown and Merkel and Berlusconi or GW Bush or Hu and Wen or Lula are just as nice as Napoleon, Louis XIV, Queen Victoria or Cesar in Rome". The masses always believed in god-like persons like Hitler, Mao, Stalin or JFK and Ronald and other stupid Gods of politics or religion, and world media would not really understand reality. One talk with Obama, and I would know how he is just as childish as all the rest.
And even Philosophers have always been and still are PART OF THE SYSTEM and therefore, we will soon see an end with humanity, due to rotten ideals of greed, growth and power given to those who have no idea about a liveable future in peace and prosperity. The Globe goes down the drain - and not one soul can see it. And VIPs are worst.
c. What I want to say here, about the low intellect of today's philosophers:
The "geniuses" of today have not ONE single SOLUTION to deadly problems of present times:
They talk and write on a daily basis in shredder media a lot of nonsense and sell themselves for Schwarzenegger or Limbaugh in any FOX-TV show, when gossiping on lowest LEVEL of thinking - and the dull average victims applaud and cannot understand one word of a useless theorem of Bluff and zero minded junk in higher philosophy. Not intellect - but bodies and shouters have taken over command. Silence and high intelligence are out.
And during all that noise of low-spirit, lost time is going by: We can now experience how an economic world-order turned in a disaster and destroys or present within a BUBBLE, produced by a few orthodox Idiots on Wall Street, based on University Shock-junk, better known as structured and derivative Trash - and not ONE of the mentioned philosophers was able, to see the problems, before 2006. They believed in useless principles - and still today are blind for reality.
Whereas in my books "CHAOS", "10 Maxims" and "Power x Stupidity = Self destruction" - all the facts we can see on Wall Street, and in Russia, China, Africa etc. were mentioned in any details you may wish, when the great heroes of the Feuilletons of the World said, that growth and greed and always higher GDP would be great and make the world be more prosperous. They said: Have billion-mergers with our savings and packages of trash - and all will be fine.
They said, the West in the USA and Europe had the "best world of Orwell" ever, but the Arabs, Islamists, Buddhists and others in Russia, China, India, from Africa to Iran would be small brains and should adopt all the lessons and principles of Keynes, Friedman and Popper and some nice Greenspan, Paulson, Kissinger, Wolfowitz, Sachs, Kohl, Chirac and Blair, and everything would be wonderful throughout the world. This was the doctrine of simplifying capitalism.
d. When 7 billions of folks do the same bluff - we have PARADISE---
When 7 billions of folks would do what Wall Street and Cheney preached, we all would become a marvellous USA or Israel --- and not a rotten Iran, China, Indonesia, Balkan, Chechnya or even worse, the deserts of Mongolia or overpopulated India or Africa. Each Pinochet would be better for richness for all, than any simple peasant cultivating food in Paraguay or any other country.
And by the end of the song, by 2025, you could foresee if not blind: USA will be broke, in pieces and down to the bottom, same goes for Europe and Japan and China and India.
Only Canada and Russia would have a chance of surviving the present philosophers' errors about the tricky average intellect games of wrong concluding on facts and reality:
e. Reason for these deadly procedures?
Reasons are many because most nations come to the edge of existence, based on not measurable extent in rotten principles and systems - however, all scientists, politicians, philosophers and other "important elites" are by far too dull to get the facts and figures, as they are.
Note: Only about a couple of countries have still some oil and gas and large lands, clear water and decent climate, up in the North of the Globe, where the ecological collapses will come up last, since the world catastrophe of climate-break crawls up to North with fine warming weather, leaving deserts for the South areas----
If VIPs were counting on cleverness, they could nourish their folks and give shelter for some time to come.
But this scenario can only work if not all Chinese and U.S. breakdown chaps further South, would not rush, one day of despair at the end of possibilities, upwards to the North.
Other condition: These "promised lands" with enough energy and land can survive if they would find ways for autarky and autonomy.
f. The final SOLUTIONS - out of the IMPASS
The "point of no return" was around 1975, as I have written in all my books, based on the idea that a damned planet cannot be saved with damned cash. When lines of collapses strive to heaven, it's too late for reasonable actions.
After the point of no return, only a "Society of AIMS" could survive on low fire a little while: A humanity without destructive constructions with Cash in banks, shares on falling companies, U.S. treasury bonds of broken USA going to zero value too and some other mentioned facts. And this could only work without the stupidity of philosophers, preaching eternal growth and greed and richness for the few and poverty for the masses since 2010 exploding into the future.
One further condition, however: The explosion of population would be reversed in a sharp turn to diminishment of population - on all continents, in the shortest period possible.
Same goes for limits in growth in energy, pollution and using up ending resources: Only a sharp diminishment in the use of oil, gas, metal, by very shortened driving around with cars and planes and container ships etc., when using huge transports distances for nothing, would----
But here I stop mentioning the main points of solutions to come, which would stand for an end with craze and bring a very late reversal of self destruction of humanity - before the year 2100 has come.
Because I must be short: The usual intellect of philosophers in the year 2009 can understand 2000 books of nothing, but they can never read and understand only about 50 lines of reasonable thoughts in outstanding books or reports online.
Where ready-made stupidity prevails - any higher thinking in IQ must be silenced.
Therefore, the few persons on this Globe who are able to think on highest level, have stopped publishing long time ago - and are no longer interested in writing. They found out that folks have been made so dull by world-fun of media, by literature of well feeling and lying film-industry, that any rescue would be too late by decenniums. Normal consciousness and clarity about facts and figures, especially about future risks and dangers, can no longer be expected from populations, made dull to the max by their Elite.
Sun, fun and nothing to do in a "don't worry - be happy" World - that's all we left to our children.
This is what we got by the end of 3000 years of philosophical history. I have written 3000 pages in books, for proving what I pretend here. But now I am fed up. Where senseless philosophers without solutions are terribly loud - only silence can be louder.
