Philosophy may easily be a distraction, but IMO personal psychology is not necessarily less so. And especially when the two merge, you might well end up with distraction^2.


Reflection does not get you far if you want a life of power. Reflection is mostly for the broken.


It depends on what kind of reflection we're talking about, but in general, I think I agree. Though I would say there isn't necessarily any contradiction between reflection and action, one need not make the other impossible.

But anyway, I wonder what philosophy is supposed to be a distraction from?

My personal belief is that a healthy philosophy leads one into the study of personal psychology.


Yep.  If all we can ever know is our own subjective reality tunnel then it makes sense to study its characteristics.

I lack devotion, there is no love I can find. I lack devotion, to ease a worried mind. I suppose.
