I'm sick of hearing people say that philosophy has no real-life application. Every day my worldview and decisions are shaped greatly by the philosophy I've read. I can't even comprehend this idea that it will not change a person's life to study philosophy (as well as other forms of literature in general).

Give concrete examples on how your worldview and life has changed then.

there's no distinction between "real" life and the life of mind anyways. real life is whatever you spend your time doing before you die, which could happen at any moment

Okay. Here's one of many.
1-) Start out raised in Christian family
2-) Get spooked in middle school by meme atheists like Sam Harris, Chris Hitchens or Penn Jillette, who say there's no way to justify God telling Abraham to kill his son.
3-) Believe this entry-level philosophy for a while, faith decreases greatly, faith-based actions decrease
4-) Come across Kierkegaard in high school. Read Fear and Trembling.
5-) Realize that meme atheists overly simplified the story of Abraham and Isaac. Faith increases, faith-based actions increase.

All philosophy was based on religion.
Even atheist philosophers like Aristotle still followed the laws by the Greek Gods.
Even atheists back in ancient Greece thought homosexuality was an abomination

Enjoy your Hadot, faggot.
Your notion of what constitutes philosophy is literally 2000 years old. Things change.

It's interesting to think about, but tomorrow morning I still have to wake up, fight traffic, work a shitty job, and keep a roof over my head and food on the table.
I have yet to read anything that changed my daily existence.
