I think for many people there’s kind of a bell curve of philosophy, where up to a point it’s increasingly value to study (helps build good reasoning, awareness of multiple different frameworks for things, etc) but then there are diminishing results and potentially even some negative results if you spend too much time on it.

"In practice people who study philosophy too long become very odd birds, not to say thoroughly vicious; while even those who are the best of them are reduced by. philosophy to complete uselessness as members of society."

The market is intimidating but brutally honest, so many are afraid to enter finding all kinds of excuses crutches or rabbit holes to hide down instead of facing potential rejection, because of this they never learn how to recover from failure.

Completly agree. It’s a ‘too much of a good thing’ scenario

Cuz time is finite. Trade-offs. Learn/Live. Do both at the same time as much as possible. LFG!

I loved "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" up 'til the point where the guy reached his ultimate state and was free-flow urinating himself in bed. Kind of lost me there.

There are those that say, the problem with philosophy is that it has become the destruction of meaning rather than the illumination of it

Beyond a point, philosophical study can lead to analysis paralysis, hindering practical application of knowledge, such as implementing secure multi-party computation for private AI inference.

the negative tail is real. past a point frameworks stop sharpening your decisions and start substituting for them. there's always one more thinker to defer to. the people who got the most from philosophy seem to be the ones who eventually left it.

I stink. Therefore, I am.

True. I used to read lots of books on economics, philosophy and religion. Now I prefer novels and poetry.

This embodying process can be very humbling & even humiliating. It's often where a lot of false entities get d...

A bell curve, viewed from the top down, and spun around 360° to form a pimple; would better describe the complexity. Even then what benefits one in the morning would not benefit them in the evening. Few can stomach a full English Breakfast for supper.
