The Most Useless Activity in the World Is Philosophy

“Philosophy has not reached to any conclusion and it will never reach – it is an exercise in utter futility. It is a good game if you want to play an intellectual game, an intellectual gymnastics; it is hair splitting.

“But I am not interested in it at all – and I know it from the inside: I have been a student of philosophy and a professor of philosophy too. I know it as an insider that the most useless activity in the world is philosophy, the most uncreative, the most pretentious – but very ego-fulfilling, gives you great ideas of knowledgeability without making you wise at all.

But philosophy asks important questions. Plato once asked:
If something is changed because it is a changed thing? Or is it changed because it is being changed?

Where would we be without knowing these things?

Correct. Pioneers in any field aren't driven by the ideas of a man who lived 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece, they just do what they feel like
