Having read the original post I’m left wondering what the hell it has to do with philosophy anyway. Maybe a new sub-branch of an often abused discipline has festered into existence without me noticing?

Stating the obvious stagnates our thought processes

The thread is not political or ideological

The only other Board it could have been posted in is "Health and Welfare" - describing the topic as a mental health issue

But I see it as a deeper problem relating to the way we think. It's a mindless and repetitive habit and it's often used by prominent people whom we believe to be more intelligent and influential because of the higher positions they hold

It's bad enough that we have a confrontational left/right divide in our brains and therefore transferring into society.

What we don't need is persistent cognitive anomalies like stating the obvious making it worse, corrupting our already corrupted minds

Stating the obvious is best done tinged with humour as the man in the street would, but when expressed in a serious sense, we must question the mental capacity of people expressing it that way

Many of these people run the country, so what are their philosophies all about? and where is their mindless rhetoric leading us to?

Can I suggest those ‘running the country’ seldom possess anything as systematic as a philosophy. They may be addicted to all manner of theological fairy tales, subscribe to watered down versions of Randian ‘Objectivism’ or baste their statements with diluted Marxism but to suggest any have a developed philosophy is just too flattering for the vast majority of the fools running this planet at this point in time.
As to where their mindless rhetoric is leading us I’d suggest blindfolded at high speed down a dead end alley.
