FOR SOME REASON I CAN NO LONGER RECALL, I chose to minor in philosophy in college. Now, there is an academic area that is about as worthless as one can get vis-à-vis real life, but I was not a practical young student, and just to emphasize that impracticality, I chose English as my major field. Depending upon how optimistic or pessimistic one is, I was assured to come out of college either qualified for nothing or qualified for anything. Samuel Butler once offered that philosophies are nonsense, but some are greater nonsense than others. Lucky for me, I quite accidentally discovered that, in taking final exams in philosophy courses, the more BS I could expand upon, the better grade I got. Philosophers, and philosophy professors, have a tendency to have their heads in the clouds, and BS that comes across with just a small degree of academic fuzz on it impresses the hell out of them. I mean, these poor fellows, over 2000 years later, are still worshipping Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. I’m afraid to ask what they do in their spare time. But I moved on from there, got work in the real world, made a life. In the Sixties, the philosophers were Bob Dylan, Noam Chomsky, and R. Buckminster Fuller. Today’s philosophers are about as well-known as Thales of Miletus. I guess we’ve moved on from over-thinking to over-acting.
