Yeah, I remember when I used to bump threads not. As soon as I saw the OP's name I knew, I just knew.

dont feel like reading the whole thread...sorry if this is a repeat
@ OP....philosopher's ideas might cause conflict and upset the status quo for a short time, but generally this is moving towards something good
if philosohper A says "slavery is wrong" and sparks the civil war....he caused something bad....but now we dont force labor on black ppl....which is good....id say overall his philosophy led to good, but the transition had a cost

"Psychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overlay was very profound." - Ram Das

Positronius said:
Have philosophers ever had any positive impact on human life?
they have definitly had negative impact, and have also been able to correct the negative impact created by other philosophers, but have they ever had any purely positive impact?
I think you will find that it is human intelligence that is the work of the devil.
it even says it in the bible.
philosophy is merely the purest intellectual pursuit (some say)
