I think for many people there’s kind of a bell curve of philosophy, where up to a point it’s increasingly value to study (helps build good reasoning, awareness of multiple different frameworks for things, etc) but then there are diminishing results and potentially even some negative results if you spend too much time on it.
"In practice people who study philosophy too long become very odd birds, not to say thoroughly vicious; while even those who are the best of them are reduced by. philosophy to complete uselessness as members of society."
