This is why as I look to the future that my two year old son will inherit as an adult, I'm going to make sure that he has a really solid grasp of philosophy. The cutting edge of today's technology and science are all digging deeply into age old philosophical questions that haven't seemed so relevant until recently. Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality in particular are going to beg us to answer questions about Ethics, the nature of Consciousness, and the nature of Reality.

Thanks for this, I think you are on to something here! After all, why not free the human potential from manual labour to something more ...humane?

Philosophy is a fundamental education in any science.

This is not about jobs, it's more than that. It's like saying Artists don't have enough jobs these days so there is no purpose in studying or practicing art.
