Skepticism

No matter what we say, the act of speaking anything belies our commitment to skepticism philosophically. To use language is to believe through action that things exist and that they exist in certain ways. This is all despite the content of what we say. The bare action we take when we use language shows our (disguised?) belief that the world is real, that words describe the things in it, and that honest personal identity persists from the beginning of a sentence to the end.

If you don't study philosophy you are not aware that the above paragraph means much. You might even agree with it automatically. But the truth is that hyper-critical philosophy believes something different and has for centuries. This alternate system has change our world in such a way that empirical relativism (those atomistic armchair thinkers) have opted for their skepticism and not for their positive ability to teach the masses the art of thinking.

In addition, empirical relativism, idealism in philosophy, has become part of our world whether we know it or not. Their commitment to this contradiction, along with abnegation in the realm of education, has opened the door for irrational and medieval religious thinking that relies on world-games and … what? anti-realism (no earthly world at all - merely a temporal ghost-realm that we visit on the way to transcendence). It is this fantasy position and ignorance about our own true beliefs that spawn apathy in the face of global catastrophe (and children).
