Isn’t part of the attempt at discovering the life worth living subjecting views to the strongest criticism you can? I have found over the years that there is in doing philosophy a humble phase, followed by an ‘arrogant’ phase, and then a kind of Hegelian synthesis of the two - accepting what you know and what you don’t know. For example: in studying a great philosopher I assume he or she is a genius and that I am ‘at the feet of the master.’ But once I am confident that I have a fair grip on their teachings I subject it to whatever criticism I can. If I’m lucky I find an intelligent defender who I ‘attack.’ What follows is a more balanced sense of where their genius lays and where their failings show. — Thank you for your thoughtful post. It provoked me to thought.

Devastating. I am nowhere near as smart, yet equally insufferable.

Philosophy's is ultimately sterile because it's never an action plan, but a rumination on which plan is best, if any plan at all.

Sometimes the goal is not the good life. Sometimes one sacrifices all for philosophy, science or politics. Meaningful life and a good life are not the same things.

Is philosophy always about 'the good life'? I'm kind of obsessed with knowledge, truth and understanding, but not necessarily to find out if that gets me a good life.

John Eastwood :
Philosophy is the pursuit of wisdom, not “the good life”. Wisdom comes in many forms. A wise observation doesn’t need to be backed by a human living wisely, if the observation is wise in and of itself.
