Judging from your response, you would be one of those who are highly susceptible to manipulation by influence peddlers who seek out individuals, like yourself, who find black and white answers to most issues, very appealing. If you were to give some serious thought to the issues, instead of running off at the mouth with spurious claims about philosophy being irrelevant to modern sensibilities or 'real world problems', then you might even acquire a little humility, as well.
