It's proven to be useful on both a personal and societal level. Simple as. Advances driven in part or whole by philosophy have transformed society within living memory(see: the foundations of Computer Science coming out of applying formal logic to mathematics).

I read nothing but Baudrillard because its the only way I'll learn how to escape the matrix and side with the objects against the subject. I fucking hate humans, they get blessed with life and sex and death and shit and they're all like "nooooo I don't wanna die I need to ensure my immortality through the virtual even though that's basically just manifesting the freudian death drive to return to the inorganic exteriority from whence I came but instead of being matter I'll just be a whole bunch of pointless fucking signs and images!"

I bet I could kill all humans with one punch, its amazing how much better objects are than subjects.

I’ve been studying philosophy pretty obsessively for maybe a year now. I was pretty depressed and suicidal before and I’m still pretty depressed and suicidal.

It's not -- it makes you feel neurotic, helpless, and confused. You just make more questions than solving any when you take on such a demonic profession. Learn a nice skill and read good novels. Go out. Anything but this.

Classical philosophy helps you think about what is good in life, so you don't become a Coomer.

If you're reasonably content with your life, there is no reason for either spirituality or philosophy, for you inadvertently are eating the fruit of both.

I would not nor could not have it be otherwise though. It’s become almost an imperative or matter of necessity rather than a means of merely coping.

It's like meditation - notable individuals do it and the tail benefits are not perfectly articulable. In general, it's a second childhood, where all the rhetoric and ready baked quotations of childhood fail.
