“Philosophers have, for a very long time, looked down at people who produce physical goods. Few professional philosophers have labored on loading docks, construction sites or similar places. They’ve had little experience with the creativity that keeps a farm, ranch or truck terminal functioning … that against the odds keeps a small business operating. As a rule they haven’t much appreciation for the people who accomplish such crucial things. This situation is deeply problematic, because without physical production we all die. Any philosophy that doesn’t major on it is therefore misguided, and the famous philosophers have in fact ignored production.” (08/27/25)
