I think the goal of philosophy is to reach a truth using logic. But I personally only find philosophy useful if these truths have an impact on the way I do things or the way society does things. Political philosophy can have (and has had) this sort of impact. Solipsism cannot.

Sorry, I usually stay away from this subforum because I'm no fun when it comes to this stuff. If I don't see practicality in something I don't see the point in it at all.

You haven't told me what you mean by practicality or why you want it so much that nothing can take its place.
