The Brain=Mind Fallacy

[genkaus]

I hate the word "philosophy".stuck in a rut, including a bad "philosophy".

You don't say?

In evolutionary terms, what is really going on is that we seek patterns, "philosophy" is merely a place card word to say, "when we do this it seems to work so lets go with it".

No its a place card for saying "what is it, why is it and what should be do with it and why should be do that".

The problem with the word is that it has the baggage of becoming sedentary and dogmatic.

You are thinking of religion.

A "philosophy" can be any claimed pattern a person thinks works. The problem is once they take on that "philosophy" they tend to project it on others.

We need to get rid of that word. It has too much baggage.

Brainstorming, having ideas, saying "this seems to work" are much better terms to work with because it is not attached to someone's personal idea of "this is the way things should go".

It frees us up to question and without question our species can get stuck in a rut, including a bad "philosophy".

Clearly, you hatred for philosophy comes from the fact that you don't understand what it is. It is simply the answer to the basic questions we ask ourselves about our existence, the world and our actions in it. "This is how it should be" is not a necessary part of philosophy unless it is one of the questions asked.
