%99 of philosophy majors end up senile and/or nutcases

secular nature), a lifetimes worth of thinking about philosophical
questions leads to frustration and disappointment leading to brain
cell destruction, senility/madness.
Synapses wear out. Philosophical questions lead one's mind to circle
over and over and over
certain questions and ideas. It's hopeless, there are no answers.
Things wear out...neurons rust on the vine.
A philosopher begins to drool in their forties.
In their fifties they begin watching cartoons their free time.
In their sixties they're ready to move into Nietzsche's old room at
the insane asylum....cross eyed and unable to even utter gibberish.
("God is dead"...HAHAHAHA)
The %1 percent that don't meet this end did so not because they find
answers, but because
they become famous and have plenty of public/peer
adoration,acknowledgement and encouragement.
Those %1 have young impressionable nubile groupies and their egos
along with their libidos
are stroked just fine thank you and that all it's all about anyhow
(maybe they DID find answers through philosophy in this regards).
For the rest of you...philosophy is bullshit.....run...RUN !

If in economics, scarcity is defined as a condition of limited
resources, where society does not have sufficient resources to produce
enough to fulfill subjective wants, and alternatively, scarcity
implies that not all of society's goals can be attained at the same
time, so that trade-offs are made of one good against others, and in
the service sector, such as in entertainment, literature, philosophy,
etc..., there are limited positions that must be competed for and few
can attain, what differentiates philosophy from other distributions of
social goods and services, so that nerve cells used for these
experiences are sacrificed? [exuse the run-on sentence]
