It makes you no money (only 1% of the population care at best) and women don't care for it at all.So why is there an instinct to philosophise?
Knowledge is the food of the soulSimple as

>>16965780Imagine some barbarian Khan from the steppes that took an interest in intellectual things and bringing slightly nervous scholars and magicians to come before him to explain how the world works>"Glasses man, you explain to me why sky big, and how tree grow" He also keeps other such scholars around and lets them debate each other for his own entertainment>"Tiny hat man say otherwise, do you lie to me? Tiny hat man say fat not bad for you, that sugar is enemy, so which is truth? I think you are wrong" and the scholars just nervously go "oh-oh ok h-Haha yah I guess so" in front of the Khan>"Khan spend many moons on horseback and training with bow and sword, but also wonders why skyfire rise from mountains every morning, you will explain this to Khan."That's how this whole mess got started you see

Secondary outcome of curiosity and sociability. Curiosity good because it encourages us to experiment with the world around us and invent civilization. Sociability good because it encourages us to work together to multiply our resources and invent civilization.Now we have civilization. We've passed down generations of knowledg.

>>16965780Philosophers were quite wealthy back in the day because the only way to convince anyone about anything was to talk to them. Those Greek guys din't have the time to ponder on nothing during the time when 99.9% of the population was subsistence farmers for nothing.
>>16965780Philosophy is lived even if it is not articulated or examined. Philosophers at the bare minimum are just verbal advocates for some of them.
