>>
Why are some mayors "better" than others?
>>
>>323863
Because philosophy is a dying field.
>>
>>323934

The humanities are a dying a field because they are being co-opted and usurped by positivism and scientism.

Philosophy will continue regardless if it is taught in the Universities or not.

Why would you want to live past 50? Like, what the fuck is there to do after you're older than that?

Please. That was hardly /pol/ posting.

/pol/ would be something along the lines "god damn those fuckin nigger-lovin kike underwater basket weaving majors."

Learn to differentiate between /pol/ and opposing opinions mi amigo.

How do philosophers earn money?
>>
>>325526
They publish papers like everyone else.
>>
>>326057
You don't earn any money for publishing journal articles. Indirectly they contribute to your employability.
>>
Well what's preventing them from doing their PhD, teaching some kids and writing some papers, and earning mad cash?
>>
>>326678
Philosophers are used for jobs that require high amounts of textual analysis. See this board as evidence; a large chunk of the posters love to read, digest and debate some books which are widely considered as 'unreadable' to 99% of the population.
>>
>>323948
oh no, whatever shall we do without philosophers.

>>323934
Rightly so. Have you listened to any modern "philosopher."

I never got why STEM majors shat on Philosophy when Philosophy and Physics are neck and neck in terms of IQ with everything else including STEM being far behind

The funny thing is Philosophy majors actually have pretty decent employment rates and earnings. Especially when compared to other humanities.

It ain't petroleum engineering but hey.
>>
>>325526


first of all, only a few people would be 'philosophers'. the majority of people with philosophy BA degrees are lawyers.

Look at the LSAT, you'll know why studying logic and arguments gives an edge.
>>
>>324302
i'm a philosophy major.
i stand to disprove this
>>
>>323835


Honestly, if you're not an add mixture of 'PPE', your work is a form of servant status. STEM majors would be like the artisan of feudal Europe.


Lawyers direct the world, and politicians (many of whom are lawyers) set the status quo.


After all, who is going to fuck and award your wife half your STEM money, since STEM guys are too autistic to understand the value of argument and social politic.
