Middle is basically all philosophy; philoschizos must be reminded their fantasies aren't real at every turn or they start living delusions of grandeur

Na you're just outing yourself as a brainlet. You need philosophy to critique philosophy. A coherent worldview is dependent upon philosophy.

"Philosophy is just a bunch of well-educated people disagreeing with each other".
I have yet to hear a comeback to this

Why does it matter if that's the case
Is the implication that the person who said it is a uneducated person disagreeing with them, and that somehow makes him better

Its more that if they have thought about it, have made rational for and against argument, and experienced some backlash.
Then at some level the disagreement carry some weight. Which has very little to do with "well-educated people", even if that is the pre requisite to have it written down, so it can survive the age of its inception.

There is a reason why we are talking about Marx, and none of his contemporaries.
