        @HeerJeet Yes, but as long as we agree with Plato that the poets have no place in the republic.

        @HeerJeet first you need people to agree that society is complex. Which politician admits that?

        @HeerJeet It needs at least a dozen or so philosophers of welding.

        .@HeerJeet It also need presidential candidates who grasp the distinction between "less" and "fewer," but that's a different discussion.

        The point of getting rid of the philosophers is to ensure the future generations forget they can be anything other than welders @HeerJeet

        @HeerJeet Agreed! This is the same stupidity that leads to the STEM/liberal arts division. It's all important in different ways.
