I think you're setting yourself up in an impossible and wildly unrepresentative dilemma. I think..especially here, in the context of this forum "philosophy" as a pejorative is used as a term for some specific view that is understandably shit on - but it's a ludicrous baby/bathwater situation that isn't at all representative of what you actually do, who you actually are, and where your interests lie. At the bottom of it all, just as a human being, you're patently incapable of not "doing philosophy". We think about things, and can't even help but do so. There's no off button.
I really don't care.
This thread asked what I thought, I gave my thought (post #21), it could have been left alone but the 'philosophers' couldn't help themselves and pushed my button.
I'm sure that I practice philosophy all the time in some form or another, just not the type that shows up here.
I'll continue on just as content with my life and thoughts, the same as prior to this shit that doesn't really amount to a hill of beans IRL. It's sad that you, in particular, thinks it's that important.
I notice that you've continuing to not reply directly to me and an confident that you have the ability to do so.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
