It's really annoying when someone tries to get super philosophical but has the shallowest take. On the other hand, not everyone has taken philosophy courses and what I consider "Descartes 101" may actually be something new and eye opening to them so dismissing them would make me the pretentious gatekeeper.
Anyways, I mostly agree with you. Like Scrubbles said, there are some that truly deserve it.
Yes. Bawling like a baby!
