Are we really so modern?
People like trusting their intuitions. In many cases, they trust them so much they even deny that there&#x27;s an argument to be made about their content - especially if people surrounding them share them.<p>This leads to people being ignorant of and confused about philosophical issues, but more importantly, it leads to them dismissing them without looking at them. Which doesn&#x27;t make a worldview void of philosophy, instead it makes one with an unquestioned amateur philosophy.<p>It&#x27;s a lot like many in politics assuming that our time is different, and historical examples are irrelevant, even when there is no good reason to believe that. Our modernity is a lot like that.
