Many people make philosophers seem like these crazy geniuses who can understand poltics in ways a normal person can’t but I don’t think that’s true. Someone who’s never read philosophy could probably read almost any philosophy phd thesis and understand it unless it’s something like philosophy of science or philosophy of math. There’s no reall skill in being a philosopher like there would be for being a mathematician or theoretical physicist where to understand graduate level physics or math you have to learn undergraduate math or physics. There are building blocks you have to learn. But for philosophy there don’t seem to be any of those. It’s something g anyone could do

Philosophers LOVE their jargon arguably more than any other field.>There are building blocks you have to learn. But for philosophy there don’t seem to be any of those.Philosophy's building blocks are first order logical principles.What do you think philosophy is? Does your impression of philosophers come from television parodies of that hippy instructor saying whatever bullshit sounds good?To respond to your core premise: normative philosophy can be useful to evaluate the ethical implications of a policy (is a minor inconvenience experienced by everyone justified if it ensures the safety of a few?) but these people are people all the same and shouldn't be treated as infallible.
>>489089283>philosophersThey are mere narcissists. They all do truly believe that your average working stiff has no wisdom nor any critiques whatsoever about the society he lives in. Of course working stiff needs the faggy philosopher tell him about his own life as philosopher fag floats on a cloud with his nose in the air over the ivory towers of academia. Also it's amazing how many philosophers of the past were butt bandits, it's kind of like an atheist thing there in a very similar way.
>>489090309There are some tools philosophers use like logical rules but it’s nothing to something like being a chess grandmaster or mathematician. Something where at the highest levels you are basically seeing things others can’t.

>>489089283Most of what can be classified as philosophy is not science, cannot be science and will never be science. Science is reproducible. If all mankind died except for one nigger couple. Sooner or later someone re-discover Newtonian physics, differential equations, numerical analysis, quantum physics, etc... since these are well defined, self contained facts that only need someone to discover them. You can't apply that to Wittgenstein, Nietzsche or Hegel thoughts.
>>489090793If you listen to a chess grandmaster some time, they'll tell you the "highest levels" are essentially rote memorization of popular chess moves and best possible responses.Mathematics is probably a better analogy here as they're essentially the same field:"Here's a simple set of rules: how far can you push them?" Memorizing formulas in math is akin to memorizing logical arguments in philosophy. Bentham's Utilitarianism wasn't unique to him when he derived it just as Pythagoras wasn't the first to derive the Pythagorian Theorem. Pythag laid down the groundwork for greater complexity like the Law of Cosines and Bentham's Utilitarianism has been logically scrutinized by the likes of Ayn Rand as she was formulating Objectivism.
>>489089283Not a philosopher in the photo. and a fagot psychologist, half-wit PhD.------------------All that is written about the subject of philosophy is complete academic degeneracy.--------------------Philosophy is not taught from textbooks.Philosophy cannot be taught.The ability to understand the world = conscious thinking - this is philosophy.This is partly genetic, partly a zodiacally predisposed trait...A philosopher must also be an ideologist. visionary, predictor.
>>489092649Forgot to add.A philosopher can never be a believer or an atheist.It's always APATHEIST
