Philosophy is devised for and by upper class to rationalize the inherent human characteristics, including the human stupidity, while the upper class refuse to admit the human-ness as human-ness. The middle-class don’t get it but still wants to believe it because they think that process makes them one of the upper class ‘intellectuals’. The lower class don’t get it and don’t know if they should believe it, resulting in some of them alienating themselves from the upper class and some of them worshiping the upper class.
In short, please don’t give me the Maya crap. Unless it’s about some beautiful woman. 😉
