Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

All modern philosophizing is political, policed by governments, churches, academics, custom, fashion, and human cowardice, all off which limit it to a fake learnedness.

All modern philosophizing is political, policed by governmen

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that all modern philosophical thinking is inherently influenced and controlled by various external factors such as governments, religious institutions, academia, societal traditions, and fear. These influences restrict genuine exploration and understanding, leading to a superficial display of knowledge. The quote suggests that the pursuit of true philosophy is hindered by these forces, resulting in a form of "learnedness" that is artificial and detached from the authentic quest for truth and meaning.

In a clean break from the Obama years, and frankly from the years before this president, we will keep federal spending at 20 percent of GDP, or less. That is enough.
