philosophy
is it a joke, or just a sneaky way to let your mind wander?

Ask Plato, he's really good at these brain teasers.
Ooooor stupid question.
The beautiful thing is that there are no wrong answers....
"Philosophy, as I shall understand the word, is something intermediate between theology and science. Like theology, it consists of speculations on matters as to which definite knowledge has, so far, been unascertainable; but like science, it appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether that of tradition or that of revelation. All definite knowledge—so I should contend—belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. But between theology and science there is a No Man’s Land, exposed to attack from both sides; this No Man’s Land is philosophy." Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy
I've been becoming more and more interested in philosophy as of recently. I started out learning about Stoicism from Ancient Roman thought, and realized that there's a lot philosophy can do to add value to my life. Definitely not a joke in my opinion!

I like to think of philosophy as a sketchbook. It's filled with concepts and ideas that don't exactly have a definite answer or solve the problem. The established works of art would be science, math, psychology, language, etc. I believe it's from philosophy or philosophical concepts that we're able to develop said established work.
