  1. I very much doubt Hitler and Stalin were seeing themselves as implementing Hegel's ideas. They were simply installing themselves as dictators.

  5.  @NullParadigm  Hitler's and Stalin's "philosophy" originated from their narcissistic personality disorders.

  11. @@dostoyevsky1222 Plato is the guy who separated philosophy from sanity. He explicitly said that one shall not look at the shadows on the cave wall. That's what science does: it makes precision measurements of shadows. Maybe paying more attention in science class would have clarified the difference between things that work (experimentation and observation) and things that don't (being full of oneself)? ;-)

  13. @@dostoyevsky1222 I was kind of done with philosophy when I read Plato's allegory of the cave, which is self-serving bullshit worthy of a used car salesman, and that Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato were all in favor of slavery. At that point you can safely ditch every word of these guys and not suffer any harm. Quite the contrary. ;-)
