Philosophy's poor cousin I keep griping about how philosophy has lost its way, that it's become a specialized academic discipline instead of being the guide that we all deserve, whether layperson or expert. I am not backing out from that claim; if anything it feels even truer today than when I started writing a daily Jayary in January. However, my reading and rereading of Damayanti and Nala's story and the more recent engagement with the idea of pilgrimage has strengthened the conviction that philosophy is better off than religion, which is even more poorly served.
