Philosophy is very overrated anyways. It's all things that you already know by life experience but that they put in fancy words. And other things are just ideas that is like an entertainment for the mind but has no application in real life.

Life experiences inform philosophical thinking but you dont get philosophical ideas by just "experiencing life".

>And other things are just ideas that is like an entertainment for the mind but has no application in real life.
It absolutely has real world applications in pretty much every discipline from the hard sciences to political theory to ethics and anthrapology, infact it is atleast partially if not wholly responsible for all these fields of knowledge. You dont know what philosophy is if you think it has no real world applications.

This is just like when you'd see kids in grade school complain that mathematics has no use for life and that it was too abstract and difficult to be worth learning. Just because you havent the dedication or the will to learn about it doesnt mean that their isnt something worthwhile at the end.
