People talk down on philosophy for many reasons. But the most common reason is that they believe that thinking is the opposite of doing. That sitting around talking about life and the order of things is fine, but there ain't no money in it. Certainly it is an exercise in imagination when people engage in the "heavy" topics. However, those who believe that talking philosophy is a waste of time, that having a philosophical frame of mind is somehow damaging to the human soul, actually embrace the idea of having no philosophy. Having no philosophy is having a philosophy. It is the philosophy of nothing.
