Ideas That Screwed Up the world
My take on "Ideas that Screwed Up the World!"
Today I'm spotlighting *Jean Rousseau* who lived 1712-1778
Who has done an Immeasurable amount of damage on our world. In one book. "Discourse on the Origin and foundation of inequality among men"
Nutshell: Rousseau reasoned with that words like God, Love, & Beauty were meaningless words for the salves of society!
Rousseau Believed Man was primarily a caveman and in order to be fulfilled needed to live and run wild in the forest...under this view man only needs to "eat, sleep, and have sex whenever and with whomever without all of the duties and responsibility of Love!
Rousseau also believed Father-hood was for salves, therefore the mother can raise the offspring besides (according to Rousseau) The woman is convinced she needs to love her offspring. As if a father couldn't care less about his children.
Sounds strangely firmilure today! Where some men in our society make babies, and leave all the responsibility to their mothers. I'm really not sure if I really need to explain why this is a bad idea! If one happens to think that this philosophy is a good one to adopt, than you have more problems than simply trying to understand this blog. I recommend you read and try to understand Paul's writings in the book of Romans.
Which by the way could have really helped Rousseau get a grasp of the reality that shirking one's responsibility doesn't make one free. It just puts more responsibility on the shoulders of those that are Noble! I wish Rousseau was alive today to see the bounced checks of this idea on society. I'm pretty confident that this idea is at the heart of needed Well fair programs in the world. Ideas have consequences. HERE
And this is why Rousseau gets one of the top places of Ideas that helped damage our world!
