The appropriate mode of thought that characterizes the
current philosophical system will be decided by the necessities of the present.
Philosophical systems that stress action will find receptive audiences of the
same frequency in times that require action, while contemplative and
speculative philosophies will find respective audiences in times of
contemplation and speculation. Philosophies that arise out of an era’s specific
mood will find audience in the next era of the same specific mood, and will
most likely be expanded upon at that time. And so different philosophies are
elaborated on in cycles.
Cumulative science is furthered by grooming behavior.
Thinkers take surveys of the topography of currently experienced reality, and
attempt to groom a forming ideology to fit the mold as created by the newest
batch of evidence. And so other lines of thought branch off of this core of
ideology, forming other cores attached by common threads which seek to address
issues in other fields through altered encodings. Previous ideologies that are
no longer relevant become cast aside to serve as antiques to be marveled at and
studied, no longer undergoing change. However, these ideologies produce newer,
compressed components to be used in newer, developing ideologies. So we
continue to build and sculpt, with each successive system bootstrapping off of
the previous.
