PHILOSOPHY
OUR APROPOS PHILOSOPHY
I infer from my years of selective reading, observing, and learning that the abysmal confusion in the popular diffusion of philosophy has much to do with so-called present "philosophy's " truncated definition and professors' abridged exposure to the true corpus of unadulterated ancient African philosophy, when they were instructed themselves.
Garbage in garbage out is apropos.
This niggardly exposure to adept instruction has caused the woeful miscomprehension, of the mother of all knowledge and wisdom--which philosophy unquestionably is--by that saintly subject's gross misapprehension by so many of its teachers' teachers who necessarily misconceived the actual scope of primeval philosophy's true breadth, vitality, divinity, as all civilizations' guide, barometer, clock, compass.
Thus, under-exposure has biased instructors against philosophy's social potency, as exemplified in its vapid manner of lifeless remission, transmission to the great masses of modern people. Philosophy's teachers, themselves, need again to be taught, re-taught, philosophy through natural pedagogical study, observations, discussion, worship, that celebrates philosophy's primal, regnal, astral, astronomical roots as reconciled with the seminal earthly tethers in nature, man, God, infinity.
Plato was instructed by our ancient Egyptian priests, as a student, who had descended from thousands of years of teaching--10,000 years he said in THE LAWS. He spoke truth.
Others after Plato diminished in the truth to the extent of their distance from anointed priests, scribes, who also were properly trained, raised, vetted, authorized to speak, teach; and who remained alive after series of foreign conquests had divested these ancient priests of lands, of resources, powers, basic respect: while plagiarizing badly, boldly their literature, sciences, arts, crafts and then taking their veritable lives too!
The root is the source of the fruit.
Our present philosophy is apropos its bloody history, also philosophy.
