ANNOTATION:
General critique on philosophy
There is an old political science saying that states "Where you sit determines where you stand." In essence, this means how you see the world and how you react to the world is determined by the issues and influences with which you, yourself have to cope.
As a general, overarching theory we see to be running the risk of skewing "reality" by sitting in cyberspace. The elite digirati see the world much differntly than the average Hutu in Rwanda. (Indeed, this seems to reflect Marx's statement that the lowest classes have no religion, here, the lowest classes have no Net.)
Are we to commit the same fallacies (if ours are fallacies) as the Social Darwinists did last century?
