it's not
It's easy to see that, for example, the notion of Ideology is an important one (for how people think, are motivated to act, and interact),
and Ideology is not captured well by any scientific means.
Thus: Philosophy.
If it could it would be called science.
Bait.
"Why is astrophysics important? It just seems like a bunch of non-biological theories about stars."
It was of immense importance prior to the advent of scientific tools of measurement. It's obsolete now.
I wouldn't want any of my friends or family to major in Philosophy, the same way I wouldn't want them to major in History and Underwater Pottery. These are all niche-specific majors that will not yield them anything beneficial except for heads full of ideas. It's just dumb to pay for a degree that doesn't immediate kick jobs up your asshole.
As a side hobby, I greatly respect it, because not everyone has the capacity to learn Philosophy and walk away with at least 30% with what they learned.
