Isn't it fascinating that to some people who couldn't be considered philosophers in a million years, being *called* one confers some kind of noble and exalted status on the person being so named? As I see it, being a "philosopher" is kinda synonymous with "stuck in one's head." It can also be a cover for much darker shit: http://www.salon.com/2013/08/15/philosophy_has_a_sexual_harassment_probl\ em/ <http://www.salon.com/2013/08/15/philosophy_has_a_sexual_harassment_prob\ lem/>
