Question by hmmmm…: “The denial of the mysterious is symptomatic of the modern broken world”?
What do you think of this philosopher and the denial of the
mysterious in the modern world ?

His thoughts on technical problem solving compared to participation in mysteries of being are interesting. I got to the middle section of
this article, number 6 titled problem and mystery and thought it was
fascinating. My eyes hurt now, so I have to read the rest later on.

This takes a while to read and put together in your mind but it is worth while – a good way to look at problems, actually mysteries we face about the meaning of life in a modern age.

What are your thoughts?
Do you agree with what he says?

Answer by Lou Segusi
Yes, in general people have there attention on so many things that TV and our media have got our attention on such as any number of products, wars, and survival. If we didn’t have wars and the media to program us subliminally or create superfluous desires so Wall Street can make a lot of money, people would spend more time in more natural states, like pondering the mysteries of life and turning their attention toward God.
