Hell is other ppl is a funny line, but philosophy is mostly an old europe waste of time if you ask me. Endless droning on about Hegel and marx and Kierkagaard, and none of it relevant to life in any measureable way. Just a waste of time.

Then why do you come here to discuss things with people who have similar philosophical beliefs as you? Rand one time asked, "Philosophy - who needs it?" Her answer was everyone. You have a philosophy whether you'd like to admit it or not. I'd say that a conservative political philosophy is crucial to the survival of freedom.

If it were measurable, it would not be philosophy, it would be natural science.

Don't mistake bad philosophy for philosophy.

Aristotle and Aquinas are anything but a waste of time.

Nicely stated philosophical position, Huck.
