Philosophical and ideological debate tend to be a zero-sum game.

Most think that they can't be a capitalist and a communist at the same time. But I argue that we can have multiple different ideologies: we can be a communist with our family and a capitalist with strangers, for example.

Anyway, the point, I want to make is that a philosophical conversation is necessary at some level, but at a certain point, it becomes so useless that it distracts us from perusing what's necessary: solving hard problems.

Problems are inevitable. And problems are soluble.

So let's build the future once we have the foundation of basic principles.
