Was Hegel Correct in Saying Philosophy Isn't Suitable for the Mob?

Social media has brought everyone the opportunity to believe they are an intellectual or that the common opinion is philosophically interesting. People write before they reason or survey a full range of ideas. Democracy in a social media can bring the mob- Democrats and fellow travelers from a mirror universe named for Republicans to believe that simplistic political ideas are adequate for running a nation, that party moral values are correct and the highest authority regarding knowledge is themselves. It is as if, as Wallace Stevens wrote, they believe the only Lord is the Lord of ice cream. Maybe middle class mass produced prosperity is the modern mob eschewing philosophy texts and immersed in video games etc.  Half of Americans don't read books at all

Philosophical thought may be on a relativistic, scalable time basis with the mob being ever more literate and philosophy ever more sophisticated. In Hegel’s time the illiterate peasant mob with dirty clothing could not comprehend his thoughts nor would have they been too interested in listening to Hegel discourse on spirit evolving to realize itself through history. Today the average talcum powdered machine conveyed American has little interest in select subjects of idealism and epistemology regarding an existence of reality objectively entangled in the Higgs field as fermions. Maybe there isn’t a great distance between the pre- Socratic cosmology ideas of Thales and Parmenides and those concerning volume and the void today, yet if philosophers need think about the comparative criteria does the mob watching The View consider such issues reflexively?

Philosophers that have no better than common ideas might want to think twice about regarding themselves as philosophers.

Would a philosopher dismiss interpreting the Bible with insight informed by science, philosophy, history and the indeterminacy of translation created by the time lapse of communication from an omniscient being arbitrarily as so many do today? Or would he develop a modern synthetic method in order to apprehend meaning that isn’t common or ordinary thought one finds in ecclesiastic or just evolutionary camps?

Philosophers tend to run ahead of the pack in the marathon of life sometimes because they spend more time thinking and working to develop new thought. Of course soon the mob will all have AI assistants and believe they are all nearly geniuses when in fact they are just Republicans and Democrats. One side bites incidentally.

Information is meaningful for sentients. Within noumena for-itsrlf nothing is meaningful or prioritized unless God deems it so. For humans I would say fields are fundamental and waves an aspect of them.
