NO, there is just sophistcarted thinking and it is the source of everything that made civilzation. This is the mistake the right wing makes. For every complex problem there is a simple answer - and it is usually wrong. H.L.Mencken We need to learn to think in a complex manner. <<And while philosophical and other "big" ideas are important. You over rate their importance when you present them as the thing that developed civilization. They are one part of a large whole, not the source of everything. We need big clear thinkers to run things. We often need practical thinkers to run things.
