As a philosopher my role is not so much to protest as to educate. I exist to point out that the elephant in the room is in fact an elephant, that the emperor has no clothes, that the rules on the barn wall have been changed so some animals are more equal than others. Chances are good that when bad times come, voices like mine will be silenced first. But until then I will speak, and speak truth. The fighting I will leave to others more suited to it. But the pen is mightier than the sword after all...and that is where I do my protesting.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
