Philosophic reasoning

Dear Editor: Mostly, civilization is codification of survival instincts and imbued sub-sets of thinking, intuition, feeling and animal characteristics. Our way of life is constantly modified by doing and learning.

Canada and industrial nations need fresh civilization philosophies to accommodate the changes have and are imposing upon civilization. While technology (physical applications) is an ever greater modification of daily life, philosophic reasoning (nonphysical application) has not been active. The world is not creating philosophic concepts to balance fast paced technologies.

Like Descartes years ago, we need to completely discard our inhibiting indoctrinations; we need to clear our minds, to envision a revised or fresh civilization model. We need to hear ideas from “unsung” individuals and soon. The imbalance between applied technologies and current philosophy of civilization has grown to such an extent; the attention getting technologies have smothered the founding principles of humanity.

We are not fully using our known philosophic abilities to alleviate and overcome civilization failings. Canadian civilization is setting far too many adrift, now 3,500 Greater Vancouver residents are homeless.

Automation and robotics are a great humanitarian feature, but the boosted efficiency has contributed to greater disparity in employing and in income. The projections, millions migrating, far fewer workers in 30 years, the unwanted, incarcerated, international warring and power struggles, uncertain fiscal/monetary conditions, are a few adverse aspects of today’s civilization.†

To live in peace and well being Canadians must not lose the instinctive need to be wanted, nor lose or diminish the all important sense of daily purpose.

Holding Canadian and world civility together is the great and urgent challenge of philosophic reasoning. Recommendations: 1. That a federal branch or an organization creates an Internet site (unsung@),

2. to include this article or a revised article,

3. asking for related submissions,

4. to publish the fresh civilization ideas.

The foregoing will appear to be utter rubbish, but the idea is to gain fresh insight in philosophic reasoning as it pertains to holding Canada and internationalism together.
