Yes, of course… what a depressing question! I think that philosophy is as good a way to burn up your college years as anything else: you still get to live in the dorms, party with your friends, engage in naive revolutions, and get all that intellectual and social stimulation so essential to maturity.

I don’t see any relation between the study of philosophy and anything negative.

No. The study of philosophy is supposed to improve your own way of thinking and your interactions with others. Reading of old philosophical texts will creat new dimentions in your thinking pattern.
