Today is #worldphilosophyday and I am sharing the place #philosophy has in my life and how it changed over the years.
As a teenager I hated it, at school analytical philosophy was very far from my interests and not even Sophie's World from Jostein Gaarder brought me closer to it. As an young adult in the university, I only read Greek philosophers and though their work is unquestionably relevant, it seemed very far from my reality.

I have learned what's correlation, causation, how most of our ideas aren't good enough, and about the history of our thinking such as objectivity or probabilities.
Learning how to think philosophically is one of the best abilities one can have. It was during these classes that I have heard the best questions ever, where I have listened to young people (and myself 😅) discussing ideas with the purpose of making them better and throwing them out when they weren't good enough. With no drama or ego.
