You're not a philosophy professor though. To steelman the OP a little, it's possible that spending your entire life grappling with seemingly unanswerable questions and not really getting anywhere could be pretty depressing.

To steelman the OP a little, it's possible that spending your entire life grappling with seemingly unanswerable questions and not really getting anywhere could be pretty depressing. I would expect philosophy professors not to believe such questions are unanswerable, and in fact to believe that they possess, at the very least, a solid start on coherent and true answers.
