Being a science and maths geek, I’ve tended to dismiss a lot of philosophy as bullshit, and have only recently begun to realise that (some of) what I’ve dismissed is actually valid and interesting. Of course, one place where this effect is incredibly strong is when a parent is arguing with a child, i.e. the “teenagers think they know everything” syndrome.
