World Philosophy Day on this Day in History

This day in history: Today is World Philosophy Day. Philosophy is dead. If you were asked to name a present-day philosopher you probably couldn't. I could probably name about 50 philosophers, but only a handful of those were from the past century. I would say that Ayn Rand was the last philosopher. Perhaps it is today's politically correct "woke" atmosphere that prevents people from talking freely and honestly, which is a prerequisite for philosophy. Rand died in 1982 and she is still reviled and hated because "words." Stefan Molyneux, who styles himself a philosopher, was recently demonetized by Paypal because he says things that are uncomfortable to hear. Philosophy has always been a middle finger to previous philosophies and the status quo...if we don't have that, we are left with bike-lock wielding leftist professors.

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.” Thomas Paine

“Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.” ~ George Carlin
