Only 3 types of individuals you would witness who’ve contributed to the society w.r.t. Science, Art, Architecture, Philosophy, Literature & Technology:
1. ‘Philosophical’ Communists -> Eg. Oppenheimer
2. Rooted Religious Right -> Eg. Ramanujan
3. Centre-Right Non-Conformists -> Eg. Tesla
Take these further examples:
Today’s Liberals-Leftists-Centrists (hereinafter referred to as LLC) may consider LIKE button, Twitter, Instagram as Inventions; WHEREAS, the authentic above three may consider JAVASCRIPT as an Invention. Notice the difference! For LLC, any content on unity, equality may be Originality; WHEREAS, for the authentic above three, LOTR may be an Originality. LLC would laugh on philosophers; WHEREAS, the authentic above three, pay heed to them as their own books are flooded with philosophies/theories of different cadres, comrades & gods. For the authentic above three, Activism means Sacrifice; WHEREAS for LLC, Activism is Leisure! Above all, LLC can’t crack great Jokes, on which one would actually laugh.Thus, Nihilism has enshrouded LLC; and which is not the answer to any way forward. Lack of Philosophy, Conduct, Culture, Commitment, Originality, Vision, would bring upheaval to any society. And due to the absence of the same, on which the LLC evolved whilst laughing, criticizing; ended up with perspectives revolving around only one or two aspects of life: mostly diversity, gender issues, unity etc., and nothing else!
Had they been nourished with the philosophical aspects as well both from the philosophical communists and also from the rooted right / centre-right point of views when they were young teenagers, they would’ve been different in their overall perspectives.
Alas, Silicon Valley is full of such LLCs. Hence, the beauty of the Internet is long lost & gone! ☹
