What is the Philosophy behind political correctness? Is it trying to please everyone? If so what about the phrase "Try to please everyone and you will please no one."

If it is about that then it has already failed due to the fact that I personally, and I am not the only one, find it offensive.

So what is the Philosophy behind PC, and is it doing it's job?

Serious ansers only.

Thanks.

to be told that everything you ever thought you knew about yourself or your existence was just a part of someone else's dream (not even your own)?

others?
Why do we need these things?
Is it somehow to find stability and security in a world which is dynamic, impermanent, a world where we are unable to find truth?
We will murder great numbers of people to keep some kind of order in our society, to make sure that we keep people obeying our picture of reality, we will kill for our beliefs in god or gods etc.
For what?
Religions and political ideologies are all the same.
Do we really need to be so extreme in order to have order, and where does one draw the line between keeping order and just being a victim fear, insecurities, greed, lost in madness hungry for power, etc.? what is power but a need to control things, to have security in a world where we have little or no control, nothing concrete to attach ourselves with. ??
Could it be that other ideologies threaten our identity, our identity being a creation of our culture, traditions and ideologies. So our very being is threaten.

The concept of the technological singularity is sort of based on this. The thought is there will be a point where technological progress is so rapid that we humans cannot keep up and something else steers the progress of Earth. Do you think that that is possible?

Many people speak of wanting or seeking happiness, however, this assumes that happiness comes without a cost. What are you prepared to sacrifice to be happy?

If I tell you that I've never told the truth in my life, did I just lie or tell the truth? And if I told the truth in that statement, was it also a lie since it was the truth???
