Popsophia is the philosophy of the common man who formulates his opinion, when nite incoming, according to the elaboration of hearsay, a common phrase inside the bar/pub is .. I heard that ... it is obvious that state of awareness is completely distorted incapable of combining every minimal function of the thinking ego. In the myth of the cave Plato explains how ordinary man believes in the game of shadows as a true and absolute reality, nothing can convince him about the opposite, we are living the modern era but nothing has changed, the modern man, he continues to live a fake reality full of fake news.
To you reader
yes my postulates are very complex I do not expect great answers but I am ready to appreciate every intention of good will, every anti thesis produced by the elaboration of any form of independent intellect will be valid.

I like to think that the "common man" has the intellect to form his OWN opinions.
Popsophia may be common, but I don't consider it true philosophy at all.
Thankfully we are not all "ordinary" men.

I agree that most modern men live and believe in " a fake reality full of fake news".

How did you decide which team to root for in the Superbowl? Are your reasons any more valid for favoring a certain public policy or political leaning?

It's all just confirmation bias, doubled and re-doubled.

How did you decide about capital punishment? Do you have empirical evidence, or does it all come down to your own personal compassionate or vindictive nature?

I think your reference to the mass games is not random, in fact the multitude needs massive events.. as Heraclitus said, 1 worth 10,000 it is a truth that has existed since the dawn of time..get a soccer team and you will win the next political election day in Italy
