They teach students in analytic philosophy so that they can become analytic philosophy professors and continue the cycle.

They try to tag along with scientist so that they can be cool by association but most scientists don't even know that they're there. Most of the scientists are okay with them hanging around them but they don't give them much thought because they're always too quiet and never join in on the banter and joking around. When scientist throw a party they always forget to invite the analytic philosophers and they only find out about it through facebook.
