Philosophy is the basis of Scholarship and learning. Dialectic is one of the way to pursue the truth. Socrates and his disciple Plato found a contradiction in the dialectic and tried to reach the truth.

Pythagoras asserted the doctrine that the world is made up of Rational numbers. To protect the doctrine, he killed his disciple who discovered the irrational number √2. After that, the contradiction became taboo.

Hegel tried to reach the truth in conflict with the contradictions: Auf Helen. The birth of the modern dialectic.

However, Nietzsche criticized the dialectical pursuit of truth: We just repeat the exact same life. So we need a strong superhuman spirit. This is similar to Buddhist reincarnation “Rin’ne”. But these are completely different ideas. For example, the former is a circle and the latter is a spiral ring.

In the history of humanity, the virus has became highly virulent and has repeatedly been a disaster. Should we accept this fact in Nietzsche or Buddha? If the argument on TV and the Diet is dialectic, when will we come to the truth?

That’s it, we realize that this argument is a contradiction. Don’t tell Pythagorean and keep the truth in my mind.
