The Fourth Philosocom Day Speech -- Building A Beacon of Intellectual Freedom Together
Updated: Oct 2
(Note: Written in 2023)
Readers, philosophers, seekers of truth!
For four years, a spark has flickered in the vast, morally-deteriorating expanse of the internet. A spark named Philosocom.com, born not from greed, but from a yearning for freedom! For spreading free philosophical material for all to enjoy, not only academics!
We are surrounded by walled virtual and nonvirtual gardens, echo chambers where ideas wither and die under the watchful eye of unseen censors and anti-intellectual norms advocates. But here, on this independent, intellectually-inclusive platform, our thoughts can soar by more forgiving, more accepting chains! A diversity of ideas, written by academics and non-academics alike.
Will this tiny flame ever rival the divide-and-conquer biased behemoths of social media? Perhaps not... However, I measure the size per content quality above any other measurement. We fight for the preservation of a truly deep philosophical media, for a haven where wisdom can be stored, protected, and passed onto future generations to enjoy! Hopefully for free too, in a world where so many pieces are absurdly stored behind extravagant paywalls!
Freedom of information! People deserve to learn! Learn, and grow, and better solve their problems thanks to free philosophy! To become wiser and be enlightened without overdrafting their bank accounts, without having to sacrifice the monthly rent! Without having to frequently consider whether to study or to feed their children!
As the philosophical, moral equivalent to Heisenberg, my mission as article baron is audacious: to cut the chains that place philosophy in the ivory tower of elitism with my blade, and make it a healing ray against the shallowness that hinders our deep and pragmatic thinking! We will illuminate one mind at a time, igniting a revolution of critical thinking, necessary for world rectification!
Philosocom's name is a union of philosophy and communication! We are not (entirely) isolated scholars, but swordsmen of reason, ready to share our diverse knowledge with the world! From research on happiness, to philosophy on politics, to philosophically-analyzed poetry and stories! This hidden gem's content is as diverse as the skies themselves!
The careless society may throw insults and dismiss our ideas without any degree of examination. Let them! The path to success is paved in the stepping stones of failure! You fail and fail until you might eventually succeed! We stand on the side of logic and morality. The more we persist, while taking good care of our health, the more both can succeed with our combined efforts!
To all of you, the brave, daring souls who have chosen to engage and even help with my work, I offer my deepest gratitude. You are proof that the thirst for knowledge still burns bright! A thirst more valuable on the global stage more than any... another kind of thirst!
We have grown together, my voice and yours. This journey will continue by the power of the human spirit to endure! Year after year, decade after decade, we will strive for mastery, for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
This is just the beginning, my dear friends, followers and fans! Join me as we march towards the revealing of philosophy's true relevancy to this corrupt world! Let Philosocom become a beacon of intellectual freedom for generations to come!
Thank you for choosing Philosocom! Thank you for choosing the exploration of truth!
Forward, to a brighter, more rectified future!
