This is a thread about why anyone would want to become a philosophy major.

I got the idea for this great thread from watching this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti9zdpLlXf0

Thank you for replying to my thread.

I only knew one person who ever majored in philosophy. He was in my fraternity and cool as poo poo and could rage face as hard or harder than anyone and then he got bored and dropped out of school and now makes like retarded money and is constantly flown all over to give speeches at hacking conventions and poo poo cause he was good as gently caress with computers and crazy smart. I feel like he is the exact opposite of what philosophy majors are supposed to be

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Philo B.A. here. I'm definitely not 'cool as poo poo' but I do work in IT. Philosophy is interesting because you can apply the principles you learn in lots of different fields. It also depends on what you specialize in. Formal logic has a lot of crossover with IT principles and learning to craft good arguments make you a more effective people person. Some people major in Phi because they have a pet philosopher and they want to learn more about them, so mileage may vary. I met some really cool people and I met some unwashed mouthbreathers.

MORE INDISPUTABLE PROOF I AM BAD AT POSTING
---------------->
I majored in Philosophy.

I've got no job; I was an innkeeper, back in Babylon, afore I quit the world. I ain't got paid since Oct. 2012.

I was part of a hacker team, #Marblecake, back in '08. Helped social-engineer the rise of the political wing of Anonymous. I occupied in South Bend, when that whole thing happened. I hitchhike and travel, rubber-trampin' no cash. Made Rainbow Nationals this year, in July, then the RNC in Cleveland, the DNC in Phily, did 3 months at Standing Rock, then hit the west coast before heading to DC for the inauguration. Took my clothes off there, to stop a riot.

I recommend the degree.

These are some of the tough questions that you need the power of philosophy to answer.

I've been majoring in international policy and minoring in the Chinese language and somehow US-China relations managed to degrade to the point of nuclear war threats and the Department of State got destroyed. Haha, gently caress me.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I took a philosophy class in college and only went to class once and didn't take any tests or do any assignments and I got a B+. I still don't know how or why that happened. I was expecting an F. Maybe it was just some sort of computer mix up.

I like philosophy majors because I majored in history and they're the only people with degrees more useless than mine.
