I am arguing with a friend on what makes a philosopher, he argues charlie kaufman is a philosopher because his films explore philosophical themes how do I explain to him the most simple way possible how he is wrong

if you know he's wrong it should be no problem for a smart guy like yourself to explain why.

Well I explained he is not trying to contribute to philosophy he doesn't work on philosophical problems so he is not a philosopher. When he makes films there made for entertainment not to solve philosophical problems or contribute towards philosophy.
You're going to get a lot of hate for this, because you guys are arguing about being. But man oh man oh man, it is just such a classic argument!
What is Being man? Can we even know? Maybe nobody is a philosopher, but then again maybe most people are! I'll tell you who isnt a philosopher though, people who argue about who is and isnt a philosopher.
outie, peace
