Throughout history mankind has pondered what if scenarios and philosophy. Today perhaps there is less of such thought in many cultures due to the high-paced and high-stress societies, yet in some cases folks live much more comfortably then ever before. In fact even the Kings and Queens of Europe did not have air-conditioning, power or microwave ovens. They did not have telephones, cell phones, GPS or satellite radio and Television. Indeed there was no Internet to instantly look up information and there were not anywhere the number of books available even in the smallest library of today or chain bookstore.
Today people know the answers to many of their questions as common knowledge. For this reason some folks have decided not to think, reason or philosophize but rather look up all the answers, assuming they are readily available. Yet even so, you might be surprised that not all the information you think about or might have questions to is available. In fact the more you think the more things you will find that are not available even on the World Wide Web.
In my many articles I discuss this phenomena and introduce you to philosophical thoughts, which are not mainstream, but rather simple observations taken to a higher level. As you read perhaps you will also develop your talents to think in the abstract. The “Consider This” comment has to do with a request of the reader to think on the subject, perhaps come up with other points of contention or continue the abstract thought thru concept based thinking. Perhaps you might enjoy this exercise to strengthen your brain and expand your mind.
I thank you for reading all my philosophical articles and hope that you might have had such abstract thoughts yourself, so “Consider This; Philosophy of 2007” Thanks again. Perhaps this article is of interest to propel thought in 2007
