> Important compared to what? Using the question "compared to what?" here only supports "compared to what?" as one of the most important questions in philosophy. > It's easy to say that any changes to the world will be imperfect Naturally, but in my estimation we don't have an abundance of rational thinkers who are moderating societal expectations, whereas we do have a glut of self-proclaimed gurus who claim to have all the answers for a better world provided we just tear down the one we have first. I could be wrong, I hope I am. > civilizations have always changed and will continue to change, you'll find yourself in an ideological position I generally agree except that philosophy isn't an ideology, it's a discipline about how to think, not an ideology about what to think. Knowing where we come from in order to know where we are and where we are going is a philosophical position, not an ideological one.
