What are the common misunderstandings and prejudices about philosophy?
1. Misunderstanding of philosophers: A group of lunatics delve into things they don't need in life. There is a classic story: a little girl in ancient Greece asked a philosopher: If you look at the stars when you walk every day, it will be too sad for you to trip over for a long time. In fact, except philosophers born in Gao Fushuai, philosophers are basically philosophy teachers or used to be philosophy teachers, and money is enough for them to live. And when I am a philosophy teacher, I can also know what I like.

2. Misunderstanding of philosophical employment: I studied philosophy in the United States, and it is said that employment ranks fifth. The first is the economy, such as CS. But this may only be aimed at Americans. Learning philosophy brings not only knowledge, but also a way of thinking that benefits for life. This way of thinking is actually more like the critical thinking advocated by everyone (I use the definition in Beyond Feeling). With this way of thinking, you can have different perspectives in any highly developed, systematic and low-threshold field. I don't know if I can make a splash-there's not enough data.

3. Misunderstanding of philosophical employment 2: People who study philosophy can only be teachers or writers. Actually, it's not. There are many entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, who come from various majors, including philosophy. Philosophy majors are actually a little lofty, but because few people study, knowing other philosophers is not necessarily a good resource like knowing relatives. This paper is based entirely on reliable hearsay data and personal speculation.
