Yes.

Dunno anon, was your post practical in any way?
>>
>>860585
No. Except if your conception of practice includes abstractions, generalizations, and an act called 'questioning'.

The Stoics, the traditionalists, Kierkegaard, but tbqh p much all of them are practical if you know how to read them

It is, but it might not sees so to a braindead STEMlord whose only standard of usefulness is if the claims are experimentally falsifiable.

What sort of ideals should our justice system espouse? Should the state protect the rights of a minority over the desire of the majority? What kind of experiments are okay to conduct on people?

Can you make a living on it? Maybe. If you're some kind of genius. If you want to philosophize for a living, you could become a priest. Got a cousin on his way to becoming a theologian. Though he already had some kind of physics-engineering degree from Georgia Tech before joining seminary. And is getting his masters in philosophy. So he is smarter than the average bear.

Before you do anything you should know what you're doing and why.

Anything that leads to an increase in power is practical.
