As somebody with a PhD in the subject, there’s some truth to this. Ever read Derrida or Deleuze? Some of thise continental guys are especially full of shit.
I still love the subject, though. When else do you get to just think about the big topics and work through fun arguments about them? We’d all be poorer if nobody did that.
“If those people believed half of what they wrote, they’d have shot themselves years ago.” My dad, who may have been more of a philosopher than he realized.
Naw, all that matters is making money. Don’t bother thinking about big, important things. Just know your place, keep your head down, and crank out $$$.

I didn’t know the disembodied voice of capitalism stalked Lemmy, too!
