> I'm not religious, but maybe exploration of the self and mind is more warranted than our society currently expresses. Of course, it's easy to slip into quackery, but I almost wonder if it'd be worth a few more nut jobs if we collectively self analyzed more deeply.
I think I get what you're saying, but I'm bewildered why recommending more philosophy within society warrants insulting people who are religious, grouping religion with quackery, and grouping philosophy with quackery. I'm not religious either but this was a weird direction to go with your point.
- thatoneuser 8y agoI'm more saying religion has been the traditional way we explored the mind and "spirit" or whatever but as we move out of religion we now have a void. Most people just aren't purely philosophical, so what I usually see these days is hippie shit like how crystals heals your mind. I'd recommend more philosophy but I'm also a realist and a lifetime of trying to convince ppl to engage philosophy has left me to believe it's a lost cause. So instead maybe Wed make it simpler than philosophy and do more exploration inwards.
