Simple put I think you are confusing philosophy with ideology. I would think you would know philosophy is a discussion on ethics, values etc..ideology would be you stance your core maybe how one was raised to believe.

I sometimes think after reviewing some of your thoughts they are based maybe more out of textbooks and not wisdom or actually thoughts that are yours.

Like your one comment about dismantling the social welfare programs what exactly does that mean...nature vs nuture? So if one would have issues that prevents them from substaining an income or contributing they get no help. So if someone is mentally slow, and they would need medical assistance or food we have no social program to help???

I guess that is enough of an opinion for now.

Also Dr. Amesh I feel that actually you are the one mistaken.
