What is the point of writing here? Humans, who don't need to hunt for survival and who are sexually underchallenged, come up with all sorts of weird ideas. Many of their pursuits are merely games to establish hierarchies.
Anyone can indulge in philosophy, the love of knowledge. But if a person wants to generate an income a degree makes things easier.
I don't see how this practice can undermine people's natural urge to philosophise.

I bailed on the Philosophy course in college as a huge waste of time, just twaddle. I switched to Comparative Religion, which was surprisingly fascinating, mostly an overview of ancient history & how the concept of Yaweh came into being....handy on here, in fact!

That is probably so but sport is pointless as well. As is watching TV, doing jigsaw puzzles, standing in the rain while looking at a full moon and celebrating birthdays.

Some people seem born to analyze and try to see how things fit together. Whether they are philosophers or just windbags is decided in the court of public opinion.

Since every clergyman - whatever name they hide behind based on the flavor of thier delusion - is a proffessional philosopher of sorts I'd have to agree.

Don't expect the amateur and proffessional philosophers here to agree with you, though.
