Recent life experiences have silenced me in some aspects and I had become accustomed to not being listened to. I guess the saying holds true (I'm probably not stating this accurately): speak the truth even if your voice shakes. The right people will find you and be all too willing to listen at least this is part of what I would include in my version of Quest Physics. I borrowed that term from Eat, Pray, Love as Elizabeth Gilbert likely has the best version to date: “I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call "The Physics of The Quest" — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: "If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you." Or so I've come to believe.”

My life is a permanent truth-seeking journey just like @knozaki2015 and @heiditravels on here ... and the truth shall set your free :)

P.S. Post idea #2: Which philosopher from history would probably gain the biggest following on Steemit today? For me: Socrates ;)

Actually it would be someone in contemporary times. He uses philosophy, social media, and film making to produce excellent inspiring philosophical rifts. His name is Jason Silva. I will post a video below as well.

Trust me. The emotion is still there. Slowing things down is for everyone's safety. Haha. I am a Leo with a Scorpio rising (its a lot of a lot). BTW, its 4:40 am here...sigh

Well, that explains a lot. ;) I don't like to assume an essentialism to my nature. I am what I am based on my collected experiences, educations, family etc. and not merely some "natural" or pre-given state. well, I at least like to think I am product of my accumulated living thus suggesting I have the ability to continue to evolve and even transcend my particular status and mode of being.

Death to the pre-given state!!! :) By the way I feel a vid coming on called 'Is it common among scientists to scorn philosophy?'

Being precedes essence after all. That wont be difficult as Stephen Hawking declared philosophy is dead.

More generally, here are typical sources of the problem is that scientists and techies see with philosophy:

Sturgeon's Law ("90% of everything is crap") - Most scientists know very little about philosophy, and tend to run into some crappy philosophy, and then assume that all philosophy is equally crappy. For example, what parts of philosophy are most familiar to physicists? One thing is, every physicist I know has heard of the Sokal hoax, which means that they are familiar with really dumb extreme postmodernism. Or in physics you sometimes encounter mediocre philosophers of science, who have strong opinions about things like quantum mechanics and string theory and multiple universes, but where they obviously don't understand what they're talking about (they never successfully learned the relevant math and physics).

Of course, whenever you do science, you are implicitly anchored in a philosophy of science. But for most scientists, most of the time, the relevant philosophical principles are "obvious" ones, like "there are laws of physics", or "avoid overfitting". So they do not require interacting with modern-day philosophers.

I really liked Truth and Method By Gadamer. Science is riddled with a few problems.
