My mistake, I just remembered something about her thinking Nietzsche’s ideas lacked “forms”.

It makes sense in the case of Plato in an indirect way, isn’t he the one that inspired Ayn Rand’s ideas?

Seriously though, this is good news indeed. I think most serious philosophy students know that it’s much more than just an interesting leisure activity, it’s extremely useful to be able to think analytically. Now even the business world recognizes this, perhaps early education will soon also recognize this and middle-high school will become much more philosophy oriented! I couldn’t even imagine what things would be like if I was interested in philosophy back in middle school.

One thing is quite strange to me though, I always thought of the world of profit as bureaucratic and not very flexible, where any sign of flexible thinking would lead to the system’s demise. Maybe that only applies to the chess pieces and not the person playing chess?

Another thing, why Plato and Kant?
