I respect philosophy, but am more persuaded by Richard Feynman's perspective, when asked what he considered a philosophical question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8aWBcPVPMo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8aWBcPVPMo This NY Times story gets that philosophy isn't that necessary, but then got so bogged down in philosophical writing it was a chore to get through and I don't consider it worth my time to have read it. Socrates said "The unexamined life is not worth living." I've examined my life a bunch and have benefited from the examination, but the people I know who seem to enjoy their lives the most haven't examined theirs at all. I tend to examine mine less now and I think I'm living better. But maybe that's from figuring things out earlier.
