"I know that philosophers like to believe in some mystical bullshit about a whole different category of things"

I've found that it's the people who are most contemptuous of philosophy that could benefit most from taking a few good introductory philosophy courses, so they can finally realize that an enormous part of their own (often unconscious) understanding of and attitude towards the world derives from long established philosophy.

I didn't mean to disparage philosophy, but just point of that thinking pure in terms of abstract concepts is often unproductive.
