Philosophers question. They probe and by seeking a deeper meaning and understanding of themselves and their place in the world, by extension, they seek a deeper meaning and understanding of the world at large. Philosophers offer society their unbridled curiosity and healthy skepticism in the form of inquiry and theory, housed within a dual disposition towards destruction and creation.
Educator and author Carter G. Woodson said, “When you control a man’s thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions.” It’s not possible to control the thinking of the person who consistently seeks understanding as well as ideological autonomy. By offering offering a different mental landscape, the philosopher subsequently offers a new vision.
“Think about it” is the philosopher’s modus operandi and as such, they’re virtually incapable of just going along with the status quo. To do so always represents a life of internal struggle and dissatisfaction. By sharing their ideas of what they believe things really are and how they could be, they push society forward by endangering thought processes and systems that seek to create or maintain social standstill.

First let me say that I’m honored to have been thought of in this capacity by my good friend Mr. West. It is an affirmation that my efforts of becoming one the top thinkers of this generation is slowly but surely becoming an actuality.
With that said, I think philosophers can offer the American Society, as well as any society, a sense of direction of what it is to have a fulfilled self-defined existence.
Now this won’t be an easy task and is definitely an uphill battle being that what’s considered to be “right” or “ideal” is forever changing in order to protect the economic interest of those in power.
History has shown time and time again that the moral and social orders of societies are tied to an economic system that must keep the majority of its population in a state of delusion and despair…especially the false illusion of love of country and religion, which are tools used to mask true intentions.
Philosophers at any given time must be daring enough to broaden the consciousness of the masses regardless of the consequences to one self, because like fellow thinker David Humes so elegantly put it, “Nothing appears more surprising to those who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.”

Today I met a lady who told me that I was wasting my time with social media. She said that it was a waste of time and that we (society) don’t need it, especially twitter.
I took a few deep breaths and listened to her opinions then tried to explain that it is a very powerful tool that should be embraced and used in a positive way. She continued to tell me we don’t need it as she expressed her hatred of twitter and other forms of social media.
I again took a few deep breaths to try to think of something prudent to say then out of nowhere a cool analogy came to me. I said in a very respectful way, it’s true we don’t need social media just like how you don’t need to wear make up. And depending on how you apply it, it can be either positive or negative.
I certainly did not come across as rude, but it did make her stop and think about the analogy.
