>What's the point of philosophy?

Because philosophy is generally not taken seriously. It has become obsolete in the 19th century when science and math became the only objective sources of knowledge.

Yep, it's a waste of time. If you're older than 6 and haven't yet realized that questions like "hurr durr is reality really real?" or "what if my blue is the same as your red?" are retarded, pointless and irrelevant, then you must be suffering from severe deficits in your mental and social development.

Does anyone else get annoyed when they hear people reading philosophy thinking they have superior intellects? There are thousands of scientists working at NASA and what not that read fiction like Sci Fi/Fantasy. And then we have hipsters that read gender studies or something that think they are smarter cause they read philosophy. Does this make you mad too?

She reads fucking philosophy. How can you take someone that reads philosophy seriously? It's probably full of pseudo-intellectualism.

Philosophy: A bunch of people who would like to be intellectuals but aren't smart enough to do real science arguing about the same vague questions people have been arguing about for thousands of years all in an effort to use the appearance of superior intelligence to get laid and feel better about their total inability to contribute to human knowledge or society in any significant way.
