[Serious] Generally speaking, is philosophy a worthwhile subject of study?

[John 6IX Breezy]

I know I tend to write wordy posts but it's not about trying to impress anyone... far from it, as mostly I see it as a flaw; it's my own tendency to ramble combined with, similar to what you said, anticipating questions/objections and/or not wanting to be misunderstood. I dream of being more concise, and not over analysing things, but it's generally a losing battle

Keep in mind even the best writers ramble—it's a consequence of how the mind thinks. The trick is simply to do a second draft. That's when you make it sound like you knew what you were going to say all along.
