Looks like they are only counting those with actual philosophy jobs.

Most “philosophers” are flipping burgers, or at best pouring drinks.

Or just drinking, period....

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the turning of the wrist,
Socrates himself was permanently pissed...
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy was particularly ill,
Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day,
Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

The Left likes to use fake “statistics” to embellish their lies.

There is a rather obvious distinction between “a philosophy major” and “a tenured Philosophy professor...”

Or do you think our “pundits” are just too stupid to see that?
