Long ago, some men used philosophy to advance human thought, to increase our understanding of the world. In these modern times they have made a mockery of the discipline only to give confirmation bias to their wishfull thinking, to the point of solipsism. It angers me greatly that such an honorable discipline has been so much raped in interest of organized religion. That is why philosophy cannot stand alone in modern times, as 'philosophers' are like whores, competing for the johns. Shame to see such an honored discipline thrown in the gutter
