# Philosophy in the age of 'safe space'
***
What is happening to all serious and philosophical musings in this age of 'safe spaces' and narcissistic selfie takers?

It appears to me there is a slow philosophical death going on within the younger generations. I believe all college students should incorporate philosophy into their major so they can become more rounded emotional individual within their subject fields. Philosophy is king of the sciences, and is just way too valuable not to be included.

# The @mindhunter past
***
When I studied for my Bachelors of Science (BSc) in Chemistry at Edinburgh University, there was no one there to teach me the philosophy basics about science. In fact I even attended the history of science lectures to try and find it, but even they were strongly science based.

I was introduced to the Problem of Evil by Camus by an art student friend, and after that was I hooked. 'The Myth of Sisyphus' became my new religion taking over from women and wine!

I guess most philosophy must start at home from a young age. Most parents have no experience of philosophy themselves and loath to pick up a dusty old book on Socrates. I find kids over the age of twelve work best, and I try to simplify Plato's 'The Republic' for them.

The best advice I can give any young underling, is put down your iPhone, and start reflecting seriously on your life. Start questioning everything. Stop going near 'echo chambers' on Facebook. Stop inputting crap into your brain and contemplate or meditate for 20 minutes a day to start with.

**This advice coming from the @mindhunter does not wish to condescend in any way. All I wish to do is to make the subject matter less scary so we can all get some real work done instead of marching to the tune as slaves to Mr Apple.**

I wish you a happy iPhone-free day!
