WHY AM I AN ANTI-PHILOSOPHY PHILOSOPHER? 😉
(I consider myself a scientist, even if that science is largely epistemology. For what is science but epistemic?)
Philosophy is best understood as a record of the history of our attempt at understanding by the middle and upper middle class’ attempt to persuade the aristocracy to modify their and collective behavior. I didnt study philosophy until I wanted to know what went wrong. And then I studied it from recent to historical – backwards. This is why I have a low opinion of people who try to USE philosophy, despite saying philosophy is often very hard.
You almost can’t grasp all the traps and errors in human thinking whether present or historical without that study, but you can’t really find any answers there. The answers are in history (evidence) and science (and in my case, operationalism which is the end point of science.)

Cheers
