Way of Thinking
The new philosophical standard
We live in a century where information was never so accessible as it is now—for instance, the way of thinking. Most answers can be found everywhere on a smartphone within one minute. We are more connected than ever before, yet we feel so alone.
Because of that, people, their way of thinking, and wisdom are developing more rapidly. For example, kids nowadays know more about sexual intercourse than the average adult knows around the post-war period. Having access to knowledge so fast has a significant impact on our daily lives.
Modern Philosophy
Today’s greatest thinkers are spending the majority of the time on how they can predict user behavior to make more money with advertising. Some of those great minds are coming up with algorithms that allow a stock trader to view and buy orders before the entire stock market can. That is ridiculous if you ask me, but it does pay the bill.
According to prospects, approximately 19% of philosophy graduators will end up being business-, HR- and financial employees. It is given that philosophy is not a viable job anymore these days.

The artist who had the most considerable influence on me had one thing in common with ancient philosophers: they died at quite a young age. Most of them did not reach forty. Some even died in their twenties.
Whopping Ideologies
Philosophy itself is an exciting subject to dive into when exploring oneself. There are literally over a hundred philosophical ideologies on the internet. This domain will only briefly explain all topics and filter what is considered a key pillar for Sine Wave Syndrome.
