This is just sad. You can spend decades in Oxbridge but you still can't gain one tiny bit of non trivial reasoning ability after all that time. Philosophy is just applied common sense plus shitloads of PR to promote your particular piece of nebulous unfalsifiable assertions in the infinite miasma of possible unfalsifiable assertions.

Also, you fail to realize that philosophy is the foundation of society. If it wasn't for Plato thinking about what society is and ought to be on a fundamental level, you wouldn't even be able to post on this Nigerian thumbtack enthusiasm board.

Haha. Without plato saying some obvious shit, society would have developed (as it did everywhere outside of Greece) anyway you dumbass.
