For example, I don't need a year long study to prove listening to classical music will help a person study for an exam versus other types of music. Reason would dictate classical music helps me study better because of its soft, slow, smooth, peaceful sound as oppose to rock or rap music.

    That is just an elementary example but truth can be found through other means than just observation of the environment, which makes philosophy more applicable than science since it deals with areas science can't touch. Philosophy can tell you how to live your life, everything about politics, what morality is, whether or not religion is true, it can tell you about your environment (materialism) and the mind (consciousness), it talks about art, theater, mathematics, logic etc. and on top of that it created science.

    Philosophy is highly underrated.
    I don't think you understand what a theory is.

    This philosopher gimmick is getting a little out of control bro.

    Go outside and have a beer or something.
