My latest theory on why humanism is unpopular, while all other "isms" have some degree of popularity.
Humanism needs you to think logically.
It needs you to treat everyone, from the CEO to the gardener, on an equal footing as a human.
You may find yourself worrying about too many unimportant people, and forget yourself, the most important person in your life.
The environment, accident of birth, etc. have convinced you that one kind of human is better than another...the labels vary. Fair and Lovely is but one small example.
No one's tried it on a large scale, so you aren't sure if it works.
If it works, it will render a great number of people unemployed. But could be good for humanity, if that is what we want.
