The Conversation

When a person faces their own personal reality that they consider troublesome and say "why me?". Philosophy helps understand, sooth the personal suffering, and even remedy it.

When a person, in their social context, faces a reality that they consider troublesome and say "why?". Philosophy helps understand, sooth the personal suffering, and even remedy it.

Philosophy is the antidote for reality when it becomes troublesome, toxic or even poisonous.

Philosophy is the tool to make our social reality less troublesome, less toxic, less poisonous.

An untroubled person does not need philosophy.

Show me a person who claims to be untroubled, and I will show you a liar.

Thus, every person needs philosophy.

The problem every person faces is that they have not been sufficiently exposed to the subject of philosophy in their mandatory education ending in high school. They have to learn it on their own. If everyone does it, it would speed up social progress and create conditions conducive for every person to have a good life.

Can you summarize the key takeaways from this conversation?
