filtherton,
Consciousness creates subjectivity, making the human condition subjective. Subjectivity can only be interpreted philosophically.
We commonly refer to a discussion as being philosophical when it covers the most complex and abstract topics such as God, the nature of reality, meaning of life, existence of free will, etc. Yet one must remember that all our thoughts are philosophical in nature, that is they are subjective. Thus our entire society is subjective in nature, built on philosophical ideas that have been so widely accepted that they seem objective.
So you see philosophy is not useless, it is in fact the language of humanity.
