engineers do important work obv, but philosophers too. further, unlike an engineer, philosophers can't do anything without the listeners doing their part in the exchange. dismissing someone's thoughts because of their 'social station' is retarded and makes you a worthless piece of shit even though you are a lolengineerohsoimportant.

You end up in 'Languages' very often, because at the start of many articles, either the etymology is explained, or the pronunciation is explained.
