You should educate yourself on what philosophy is outside of the academic setting. Philosophy is anything but cold, but it is logical. And our
leaders today are anything but cold and logical. Their policies are based on greed, which displays a deep burning love and passion...............for
yourself.
A philosopher loves truth, and wisdom, more than anything. Especially more than their own self. Their decisions may seem "cold" to someone used to
thinking of themselves as being all important, but the true philosopher thinks of the good first, not themselves.
Logic is a form, and you can have logical untruths, if you study the form, you know that. Logic is a tool for attaining wisdom, but it is not wisdom
itself. Wisdom itself comes from proper harmony within the person, with spirit, intellect, and body in balance.
Read Plato sometime. Dont just listen to the semantics passed off as philosophy in a university setting. Many academics are fools in love with the
memorization and superficial analysis of philosophers works and no deep understanding of them.
