Round and round and round we go...

IMO most of the "great philosophers" ((define "great", define "philosopher")) worked from a place of no-mind anyway which is why they were actually able to make useful advances in the world. At this point in time however we have exhausted "pure thought" and all logical systems are exposed for what they are. The great philosophers of today are not called "philosophers" unless you want to get into an endless argument about "what makes philosophy" which is so incredibly useless.

The real question is "what brings happiness".
