I'm not going to say that philosophy is practical or beneficial to the human race or anything, but dismissing it as "pretentious nonsense" is just being ignorant.
Philosophy is trying to look at things in a different way, trying to work out how things work. It's all about getting to the bottom of things and thinking critically, rather than just accepting things at face value.
I find philosophy interesting because of all of that, and I find it's a good way to get a different perspective on things. Sure, it's not going to save anyone's life, but it's thought-provoking and fun.
Dismissing that as "pretentious" is just being ignorant.
...I just got trolled, didn't I?

Notice how I say that "much of it is pretentious nonsense" instead of "all of it is pretentious nonsense". Also, pretentious nonsense is a different way of looking at things. So, yeah.
And "nuh-uh. You're stupid" is never a valid argument, by the way.
