to steal a line from Stroustrup: "there are to kinds of philosophies: the ones people kill each other over and the ones nobody uses"

  Though some like humanism tend to lead to less killing than might have gone on otherwise.

    Let it run its full course, and humanism will lead to an unimaginably horrific dystopia. Think "Brave New World", by Aldous Huxley. The surest way to make a man stumble and fall is to puff him up with flattery and tell him how wise and sure-footed he is.

      Maybe though I rather doubt it. Time will tell.

        The problem is that humanism is more of a flavor found in philosophies rather than a specific lineage or school. Marx was humanist, so time already told I guess.
