I was being very lenient in my use the of word philosopher., lol... I'm definitely not a philosopher in the sense that I'm not an expert in the field. What I meant to do was to ask if anyone else was interested in philosophy.
I'm very interested.... Philosophy is, at it's most basic, a search for truth. And it's practice includes tools to help determine if what we have are actually justified beliefs (as close the to truth as possible) or merely opinions.
Critical thinking and rational thought are also very important tools in philosophy.

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.[1][2] Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.[3] In more casual speech, by extension, "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group".[4]
