Oh, how delightfully condescending! Nothing says rigorous critique like dismissing thoughtful discussion as armchair philosophy from the comfort of your anti-intellectual high horse. Philosophy isn’t some gated estate reserved for tenured professors in ivory towers. It’s rooted in questioning, debate, and critical thinking, activities every person is not only capable of, but should engage in. To sneer at armchair philosophers is to imply that ordinary people shouldn’t dare reflect on ethics, society, or meaning.
