A satirical repost answering 'philosophy isn't useful': it's very useful for being sentenced to death (Socrates), penniless and homeless (Diogenes), murdered by a mob (Hypatia), condemned as a heretic (Ockham), excommunicated (Spinoza), exiled (Voltaire), reprimanded (Kant), barred from teaching (Russell), and jailed for beliefs (Gramsci).
