In order to minimize the contentions of people who feel they are smart, but resent your efforts to be smarter through philosophical investigation, a degree of modesty will need to be accepted by you. For example, wearing a t-shirt announcing 'I am a philosopher’ will be met with derision, if not outright ass-kicking. You’ll need to accept that while you have investigated concerns that most people respond to with ‘I dunno’, people jealously defend their dignity, even if they subscribe to a list of hogwash and pseudo-science. Also, while you can be wary of these people, you can’t be disdainful of them. The world requires all manner of personalities, and your choice to be reflective enhances your life in ways that even endless wealth can’t. Your personal self-worth will run considerably deeper than for most people for this effort, and you'll never see the many psychoses that plague many. Enjoy that.
