Why did we let the writers get a hold of Philosophy? So many of the worlds and societies issues could be resolved through philosophy and the spread of knowledge and ideas. Instead its this masturbation tool by psueds, it was the root of knowledge at one point. Now its just an edgy husk of itself with neither any concern for ethics or the betterment of self or mankind.
Philosophy in academia is a circle jerk
Philosophy outside of it is just rationalization and non-sense that wants nothing to do with Math or the Sciences.
And in both cases is mostly just roleplay.
Why did we let Philosophy become so useless? To clarify I'm not saying that it is, I'm asking why are we letting it be useless.

It fell into the hands of the herd.

Then you haven't read enough. Sit through the damn entry-level philosophy and keep reading. Ask /lit/ to hold your hand if you need to.

I remember the bike lock guy who broke some random guy's head at a protest had a Ph.D. in philosophy and ethics.
I think the solution to philosophy is to get a government list of everyone with a bachelors degree in it or higher and then to commit mass genocide. Then we burn the work of all philosophers that came after the Renaissance and we start from 0.

So did art, music, politics etc
The rejection of intellectualism is a symptom of a dying society. But it goes both ways because the sciences also reject these things
Back in the day art, politics, science and philosophy went hand in hand. Now we have a whole generation of faggots who think intellectuals can't do art because their brains are "too logical"
And the science community accepts this without a whimper which is wrong. Art, creativity, politics, philosophy and science go hand in hand

So is this board. But that one has less faggots who blindly fling shit at the discipline because they haven't even read up on entry-level concepts (plus they got shilled by hard sciences meme).
And philosophy is not a collective body of knowledge anyway. It's methods of thinking (how you determine morality or whether an occurrence is good or bad, as per normative philosophy). And that is just one of its many subsets.

Actually you are just illiterate and have no idea what goes on in the ivory tower. Philosophy is more rigorous and applicable right now than it was at any other time.
You can't access things like this because the prerequisite knowledge acts like a pleb flitter.
