Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don't reflect this

Stupid people are easier to control.

I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It's awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn't really make sense

I had a philosophy class on my 3rd year in HS. And I hated it, but only because it was imparted by a bitter and deeply religious old man whose lectures were basically "let me tell you why this philosopher was an idiot and a bad person" when anything challenged his views.

This was, of course, a private Catholic highschool. But, to be fair, he was the only teacher there that was like that. We even had decent sex-ed, taught by an actual doctor.

Well yeah I suspect that's part of the reason it's slipped out of the curriculum. Shit teachers co-opted it for religion
