I think this is too true of too many to be denied or ignored (but I would take out the words 'philosophical or any other type of,' in the quote above,...

This is true of some but certainly not all. If an individual is TRULY 'open minded,' then said individual will welcome challenge to even your most dea...

This seems a futile dance. It's okay if you prefer asking questions to answering them.
October 05, 2022 at 19:52

Do you think 'good' modern philosophers have a responsibility to protect people from such or teach them ways to defend themselves against such?
October 05, 2022 at 14:19
No, I simply used him for exemplification of the kind of philosophical fear mongering/brinkmanship I am requesting discussion/opinion on.
October 05, 2022 at 14:15
If you keep throwing fear and threat at people and you keep role playing brinkmanship then the reaction of some will get more and more extreme. From t...
