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.

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.
