How come when an ignorant person is asked a question regarding philosophy, their responses are either "no ones perfect" or something along the lines of "I don't care"?

Is there anything about the phenomenon I've noticed? Don't these people want to expand their minds?

Why are you such an elitist cunt? Philosophy is something people who have deep questions about something engage in. You won't be engaging in existentialism if you don't have serious existential questions. You won't be engaging metaphysics if you aren't obsessed with the question of what what is real.

Most people don't engage philosophy because they have no deep questions. They wouldn't know what a philosophical question even is, and that's fine.

People always perceive philosophy as this sort of aristocratic mind game that you need to have attended a big university to practice and that is far above their comprehension. I've played a philosophy game (which is basically an excuse to practice philo by pretending you are playing a board game) with two of my friends who are really NOT into philosophy the other day and they were pretty good. They had some interesting things to say but it showed that they didn't do it often because they didn't know many concepts, yet they still manage to articulate positions and show ideas of their own. They really felt like they didn't wanted to do it because they'd look like idiots but once they got to do it they had fun.

Could you talk more about this game?

Create a thread, perhaps.

A person who does tot engage in such deep questions, is, in the end, ignorant about its own ignorance. perhaps a bliss for most. but i do not think so.
