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

[brewer]

-and thats you doing philosophy, right there - but poorly.  A comparison to the religious wouldn't mean anything in and of itself, and only works as a dig because of a philosophy you hold to about religion, which is manifestly incorrect  - but probably accurate with respect to the kinds of religions and kinds of philosophy you dislike.  The example I offered before, Crosby, well, he's a pluralist as well as a pragmatist.  In short, he thinks that there's more than a single right answer to any question.

I think we can fairly say that when a person does a thing that a term is defined as, it's not really a matter of my opinion whether or not they're doing the thing.  I don't think that everything is philosophy, but I see that philosophy has a practical application in a great many instances.  It can be used to help you make a chair, it can be used to help you make a grocery list.  It's at the heart of every science, governments are entirely constructed out of it, and we do it instinctively without any training or academic pursuit whatsoever.

Thank you religious philosophy god interpreter. You level of belief is outstanding.

You don't mind if I take a pass, right? Hope that doesn't hurt your ego.
