Is philosophy useless?

It is indeed. Philosophy is useless. Why?

Religion is one kind of philosophy. Many people pretend to believe in
religion and use it at home to discipline wife and children. People
use religion in the society to scare off and win the hearts and mind
of the emotionally weaker population. People use religion in the state
to make an excuse to go for war, kill people, steal resources from
other countries and build a kingdom at home. Some left religious
philosophy behind to those countries they occupied for a long time
same way snake changes their skin and leave the dead skin behind.

Philosophy left behind abandoned and useless.

Homosexuality was platonic love - it is difficult to accept for many
people. In ancient Greece, homosexuality was a normal practice. It
tells us the male homosexuality that does not mean that female
homosexuality did not exists.

The male dominance is another philosophy - to have sons from a
lawfully wedded wife, and have sex with shy boys. This is the only
philosophy still alive all over the world....

What was the use of your contribution?

A serious question deserving of an answer.

Wrong!

Philosophy is not about what you think but how you think. Philosophy
is about examining ideas, not giving in to them. Philosophy is about
critical self evaluation, not about giving one's self over to faith.
Philosophy is about challenging the assertions of authoritative
statements, not giving in the the authority of the priest or the
chuch. Philosophy is about rthe rejection of faith in favour of
reason.

That is why religion is useless and harmful and why philosophy has
helped drag us kicking anc screaming out ot the dark ages of thought
into the 21st century.

Incorrect. Religion begins with a creed then asks philosophy to
rationalize it and then it becomes theology.

...and the motive for the article is exposed to become fruitless

In this particular case, wrong on both counts, I think.

It is this huge Global Brain that wanders around with no arms and legs - he
