Why?

We investigated the question Why with philosophical theory on morality and the fundamental nature of existence.

Our philosophical theory indicated that the reason why anti-GMO activism faded away more generally, might be a fundamental intellectual impossibility that we named The Wittgensteinian Silence Problem.

The Wittgensteinian Silence Problem makes it fundamentally impossibile to enclose moral aspects in language, with as a result, that leaders of organizations cannot envision an end or moral direction for meaningful impact and results, causing them to keep eugenics and GMO off their agenda.

French philosopher Henri Bergson wrote the following about the fundamental raison d'etre (reason for being) of Nature.

If a man were to inquire of Nature the reason of her creative activity, and if she were willing to give ear and answer, she would say—Ask me not, but understand in silence, even as I am silent and am not wont to speak.

With The Wittgensteinian Silence Problem theory in the background, and with our knowledge of how it relates to leadership theory in practice, we started our philosophical inquiry and the first results indicate that most organizations have indeed decided to keep eugenics off their agenda, despite that some leaders of organizations did openly communicate to have the moral intuition that eugenics is wrong.

This platform intends to enable visitors to continue the GMO debate by initiating a conversation with nature and animal protection organizations, to give the organizations a motivation to think more deeply about the subject and to contribute to an online philosophical knowledge base of moral concerns about GMO to advance the GMO debate and to help protect animals and Nature from the effects of anthropocentric modification.
