Philosophy encompasses much more than the personal subset. Mark and Hegel dealt with the forces of history, for example. Wittgenstein with how language frames the boundaries of knowledge. Orthodoxy is a comforting narrowing of options. The very opposite of true philosophical enquiry.

Much respect my friend. You are inspiring me to learn more about those ideas. :-) I recently bought The Art of the Metaobject Protocol for nighttime reading, I may have to add a good Hegel or Wittgenstein book to that pile now. Cheers.
