Think of all the famous people alive today. Think of all the billionaires donating shitloads to get medical wings named after them or the entrepreneurs working day and night to get their businesses going, with the lucky few finding riches and helping society.
Think of all the high IQ creatives working on physics and maths problems. And famous celebrities now worshipped by the entire globalised world.
Now realise that the guy in picrelated will be remembered by more people and have a higher place in history than (almost) everyone living today. His achievement: "Hurr sure, what if everything is imagination!" He also has one of the best universities named after him.
Now do you see the power of philosophy? You could leapfrog the entire living members of the human race with one insight that hasn't been written before. Money can't buy this.

That's not what idealism states.

You do realize that Berkley studied physics extensively and made many contributions to philosophy outside of his idealism. Either way, why are you going on about how shitty philosophy is when one random philosopher that you heard about in your Phil101 course happened to have an idea you dont agree with?

i actually love berkeley. big influence on how i think about science, philosophy and the mind. obvi i think he is wrong in his overextended idealism but his arguments are actually really great. he just suddenly goes full retard toward the end has made a massive contribution.
