> Philosophy is generally impractical.

I don’t understand this statement. The rest of the article is an exercise in philosophy.

I perceive it to be behavior that does not elevate the human being beyond that of a lesser animal.

This is just hedonism.

Their philosophy isn’t to understand truth or beauty either. It’s just to “use heuristics” to do what other successful people do.

I don’t like Western hedonistic philosophy like this that piggybacks off of old world philosophies and picks and chooses behaviors and practices without understanding. I associate it with Western humanism which I find equally dangerous because the two are philosophical siblings from the same immoral thinking.

This is dangerous philosophy.

Edit: I’ve edited this post because I found my initial post to be overly negative.
