The field of philosophy seems to get attacked endlessly and deemed utterly useless by, well, pretty much everyone. 

“What has philosophy shown us about the world today?” “What has it done for the economy lately?” “Philosophy won’t solve –insert global crisis here- (Choices include, but are not limited to: global warming, earthquakes, world hunger, my hunger, overpopulation, genocide, Justin Beiber, and Rebecca Black.)

To which I respond:  What has philosophy done for us lately? Please.  What has ANYTHING done for ANYTHING lately?! Fuck this shit.  People are fighting.  People are dying.  People are hungry when they shouldn’t be, and the earth’s crust seems to be ripping apart at the seams, and none of this seems to be letting up anytime soon.  Maybe we got some bigger motherfucking fish to fry over here.  Stop complaining about how philosophy isn’t doing anything and if you’re so set on it fixing the world, maybe you should go figure out why the things and people that are supposed to be fixing these problems aren’t, because in my opinion, that’s a whole lot worse.
