The Twentieth Century has brought about a rise in the number of leisure hours for many people, most of these people just Vegetate, but some spend this spare time thinking. Thus there has been a Plethora of new philosophies and schools of thought thought up. All of which have been discussed by the thinking people and presented to the general populous as good doctrine, and worth the piles of money they receive whilst sitting down thinking these things up.
