It offers no answers to anything and often only raises new questions that some other dipshit will only answer with more pseudo-intellectual existential bull shit.

WELCOME SIR!!
Funny thing is, man loves to think and to talk about what he thinks. Who'd-a-thunk that in an online forum, eh?
I'm guessing everyone here would'a thought that. Yes, we all enjoy conversing with each other. However conversation is not Philosophy and the two are not remotely exclusive to each other ... or am I missing your point?
Even most Philosophy professors (blowhards in my opinion) will tell you that even Nietzsche could rarely offer up a solution to his lamentations, but rather identifies the problems and then proceeds to philosophize his way around them regarding their origin, meaning, or impact.
Yes conversations and debate are fantastic. I personally have no use for philosophy. Give me science, math and the inquisitive mind that searches for an answer rather than silly pointless questions that cannot and never will be answered with one universal decision.
Just my 2cents of course. Those who enjoy such fruitless endeavors -- do partake and have fun. My motto as always - to each his own.
