There is mileage in philosophy? Says you. Are you talking about in context of general population of a country? Of "intellectuals? Your mates?

If philosophy has mileage (compared to science) then so does any other religion. I guess that's all dualism is though.

I just went to reply you but after reading back on what was said I'm seeing a different context. My stupid comment was about popularity not about usefulness. I was rambling about general public opinion on belief systems not what the topic was really about- if philosophy could move something forward.
