Are you without any philosophical view whatsoever?
Is all life merely practical?
Do you, or have you ever asked questions such as; 'who am I?' or, 'why am I here?', how about, 'What should I do now?'.
These are all philosophical questions. You have never asked any of these or other similar questions?
They all seem like practical questions to me at different stages in ones life.
Then again, if where you are stuck is in a cynical mindset, then not only philosophy, but most likely, not much of anything outside you makes a whole lot of practical sense.
Hey, philosophiclly speaking, 'whatever floats your boat'.
