I think more people in our society need to read this comic: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/190
More technology, surveillance, science or mathematics will never help us develop a sense of morality. We need philosophy for that.
@kensanata To be honest, we've been doing that philosophy thing for at least several thousands of years already, and the problem is far from being solved, so this is rather laughable, especially when you compare it to actual advances in mathematics and technology (not to mention surveillance). And every single grumpy old man has a very well developed *sense* of morality.
@deshipu I think the two are independent: we made advances in science and not so much in philosophy, and now some people claim we don't need philosophy to solve our problems but that is only partly true. To know whether we want more or less surveillance, we need philosophy. We didn't make much progress because it's hard. I see no incongruence and I don't think there is anything laughable about it.
@kensanata All the philosophy ever produced is more philosophy.
