Back years ago in Brighton, MA. up the hill from Cleveland Circle
(during the AWFUL days of disco) I lived with two philosophy majors;
one with an undgrad degree in it and the other with a masters. I
listened to their discussions and figured out one thing. Philosophy is
so valuable it should be taught beginning in elementary school maybe;
its study and debate that involves multiple meanings of ideas, words,
and language is the enemy of Orwellian Newspeak, and any political hot
air.
What did my two ex-roomates do with their background?
One took doctorate in counseling and the other became a lawyer - both
very good ways to keep off a macaroni diet.
