May I ask how it is possible with all the bright minds in this nation and all those in college right now, why on Earth they cannot come up with a breakthrough in philosophy ? why it?s as if their minds are trapped, but how can this be in the information age, where we should be at a point of unlimited thought? Did everyone stop thinking? Not long ago, I was having this conversation with a brilliant future philosopher, John Altmann.
What I reasoned was that those who wish to study and come up with something new in philosophy should attend college, however, college can also adversely affect your brain if you let it, you have to keep ?thinking? while filing away all that information. Just studying the categories of philosophy and memorizing the names isn?t going to do it, nor is continuing to hash out old circular arguments. Further, I?d say;
?Remember all those so-called ?Ten-Foot Tall? men in history were only humans, and today you shouldn?t call them ?Giants? to stand on their shoulders, just call them mile-markers, and when you see one accelerate towards it, and then shift gears, hit the gas, and leave that head bust in the proverbial dust, don?t look back, keep your eyes focused on what?s in front of you, lest it rust? ?

My advice to those who want to become the next great philosopher of our time, sure, I have some thoughts on that, here is my advice; all their philosophy and greatness are only challenging you ? take that challenge. Don?t let them become a false ceiling, they are merely the beginning, they are the ground, it?s time to boldly go ? they are only a starting point, even the greatest merely mile-markers. Think of it that way.
You see, if you want to be a great future philosopher as John Altmann will become then you must realize that; ?YOU? can do anything in this world you want too, you own it, it?s yours, every individual is the highest power. Write your own ticket, know no limits.
Lastly to all you college students out there who wish to make a breakthrough; continued Success in your College Classes, send me any thoughts or ideas you have whenever you feel like it, I?ll be around. You see, I am kind of counting on all of you to make a breakthrough, come up with something big, and give humanity a real run for their money. Indeed, I hope you will consider all this and think on it.
