Why is there one? Every single asker has already made up their mind, so why bother ask? (I know I sound like a hypocrite.) And if you do ask, I swear there is atleast one answer that is "life". So crackheady. Gosh.

Sketchy, you are.
Your reasoning is flawed. We can begin with "every".

It takes most people a little while to integrate a new thought into their hierarchy of knowledge... It is very difficult to un-have a good idea; emotionally you might be stuck on a particular choice, but slowly the better idea will start to make you lose some of your conviction etc.
You could absolutely prove something here (like there is a point to the philosophy section) and get ridicule in return; but later, you start to get emails from the very same people who ask for a demonstration of your principles in another example.
Being exposed to many ideas allows you to look for exceptional ones and then pursue them, understand them, refute them and accept or reject them; this gets easier and faster the more you do it.

Well, you get two points for just coming to answers and you get ten points if they choose your answer as best answer. The other thought is survey what other peoples thoughts are on this or that: identity versus confusion on a universal level, even though limited or finite in quantity of the infinite.

I think some people just ask questions not to gain new insight or knowledge but to just organize their own thought process and confirm their own beliefs. I do agree with you many questions are redundant and at times foolish for this section which is about self knowledge after all. Good luck to you in your life moving forward!

I love the section of Philosophy. You can find good and bad questions or answers in all categories.

WHY DO YOU HAVE A CLOSED MIND, or are afraid to open yours and allow. Different Points of view to enter and possibly, create an alternate way of viewing things.
It's called Opening Your mind.
