Philosophers, Art, Knowledge

Has the fact that we have let ourselves, our cultures advance scientifically ruined our philosophical future? We've industrialized our lives, our brains to the point that we cannot open our minds to ponder great philosophical questions. Or is it that all the great philosophical questions have already been asked? The greatest philosophers have long been gone from this world, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle. We that are so much more advanced than the time that bore them, why is it that we cannot also bore a great philosopher? Could we really name a person from our time, our generation, our century that could be held up to their standards? That could be named with the great philosophers of all time? And knowing this, are we really more advanced than the civilizations of our ancestors. Civilizations that created great works of arts, architectures and philosophies while ours is concerned with the latest celebrity train wreck or fashion idea? It shames me that we think ourselves better, more advanced than these people that came before us when we've let our brains rot. We follow what we're told while they stood out and boldly asked and wondered and searched. Scientifically, we are more advanced, we have cures for things they couldn't even imagine but somewhere, somehow we lost our thirst for knowledge, our brains became a novelty and ideas became about what could sell the most. Look at the great pyramids of Egypt, the ruins of ancient Rome and Greece. Can any of our structures even be put in the same sentence as those? Will ours stand the test of time and will our future generations in a thousand years from now look at what we've made and be inspired, be proud, be amazed as we are by these?
