On philosophy

So let's be honest and create a scope of the field of philosophy.

It is by far the saddest conclusion that man misunderstand what philosophy is and what it has become. It has become unessential. It has become tyranny. It has become opinion. Philosophy in itself is merely expression of the unknown. What is possible, and what is important. Not opinion. Merely dialogue. Friedrich Nietzsche said that the universe is time, and that time can be slowed down. Does that sound like a philosophical statement? Does that imply opinion? No it's more scientific than philosophical. It is more idea than opinion or decision. It is what it is as some say, but does it hold up to scrutiny? Does it explain what needs to be explained? Modern day philosophy, or that which is labelled as such, tries to create scenarios of man, but fails to recognize the validity and assumption of these scenarios. Are they realistic? Are they necessary? Are they fact? In most cases philosophy of today pronounces situation. It describes New York City without mentioning the Grand Canyon. It is losing its importance in the 21^st century because it is wrongly represented. That is why Nietzsche is still king of philosophical dialogue. But only to the extent of published and commercial media representing the philosophical field. Surely there are many philosophers out there, unheard of, that declares statements of truth without seeking recognition.

We can also credit that which is real, instead of being journalists. The world is filled with journalists. Gossip queens and beggars of note. Philosophy has become that and one can assume that it will never end. That publishing houses prefer to monitor and sanction writings or ideas for the sake of consumer belief. We are now a consumer driven society. Because of consumption and declaration. The liberal has become the fascist. The god has become a tyrant. But that is not philosophy and that is not important. One can write all what one wants and still not discuss philosophy in its natural and intended sense because of the motives behind it. We can declare what we want, but what is real, and what is true? What lies as a shadow over us ALL? That is what science has tried to achieve, but failed. That is what commercial philosophy tried to achieve, but failed. Basically what is the overriding thought that needs to be answered by philosophers? Not idea, or belief, but rather fact. In Nietzsche's words again, 'Man will only conquer himself when he dies'. As in to empower man, he has to commit suicide. He has to deliver his own fate. He can go in circles for eternity and still not be satisfied. He will never be satisfied until death consumes him. He will only become what he is, when he dies. As in, not through living will he know the truth. This is what religion has tried to answer for quite some time, but failed to maintain over the populace during its course. Now scientists explain the nature of reality without providing proof or relevance. Does that nihilize the purposes of religion and science? Does philosophy also fail by not answering or continuing to answer or influence during its reign? Can man ever regret reform? Does life in the human sense at all explain what death is? According to us all, death is the end. Death is the end of this life. It is perhaps the beginning of a new life in heaven. But what Nietzsche says is that man is only aware of life. He cannot be aware of death because the tools he utilizes to live life becomes obsolete in death. That is why he says that the eternal return happens only once. As in, for eternity (forever basically) we live for eternity. All things imaginable, and consistent with reality, is not a dream, but a reality that never ceases until one does. Many religions utilize this thinking clearly like Zen Buddhism, yet does not acknowledge the requirements in man to live that life without an outlook on this exact life. Nietzsche says that we need to not understand, but we need to live. And most men either don't get a chance to live, as is caused by fascism, or right-wing liberalism, and also those not knowing what living is. Some expect it to be a variety of experiences, where Nietzsche says clearly that experience is not real. It is merely the illusion of reality to give reality substance. Napoleon said religion is the opiate for the masses that defines experience, but fails to acknowledge that experience is the opiate for the masses that are not religious. Drugs in modern culture determines outlook. Opinion determines outlook and conception. He is what he is, because that's what he is. Basically life cannot be experienced by those that are alive. Not because there is no living reality, but because consciousness cannot define reality, because reality is not consciously defined.
