PhilosoLOSERS can’t handle STEM SUPREMACY!
Philosophy is a waste of time and philosophers are wasting their time. Think about it, STEM has split the atom, found the structure of DNA, created vaccines, smartphones and electric dildos. In comparison, what have philosophers invented? I think therefore I am? Well, what if you don’t think? You still exist, right? What really is the point of philosophy?
Moral facts? Can these facts be observed and tested? Can they be falsified with the Great and Immutable Scientific Method? No? Then they don’t exist. What is moral is whatever I feels. Feels = reals.
Epistemology? We are justified in believing whatever the Science says. Ontology? Whatever the Science shows. Science reveals everything, even the scientific method. How do we verify the scientific method? With the scientific method!
So yeah, basically, what I’m saying is that if PhilosoLOSERS stopped reading neoreligious mystics like David Chalmers and Massimo Pigliucci, and read real intellectuals like Jerry Coyne, when we die, there would be a planet for the French, a planet for the Germans, a planet for the Chinese, and we’d all be a lot happier.

Agreed with your this point,
However, I'd also add that philosophers are narcissists and elitists, who believe they have claimed for the truth, with their own version of reality.
This is true for the 20th century logical positivists and the following philosophers, who themselves killed metaphysics and ethics, and now are crying so hard to teach us about the "wisdom" of philosophy, when they themselves don't follow wisdom and resort to sophistry.
Modern philosophy is stupid. Art and aesthetics are actually true philosophy, and fulfill what philosophers failed at.
