The decadence of the species

Everything comes down to the change of species: from the Homo Sapiens Sapiens to the Homo Sapiens Videns. For this one, only what is seen (or sensed) is real.

Philosophy has gone from being the love of the wisdom (according to the old Greeks), through being the study of the vocabulary (according to Wittgenstein), to being the study of the dress code (according to modern progres). People's ideologies are only in their wardrobes, not in their heads any longer. You're classified by the others in the way you dress, no matter what you think, talk or do.
