I don't think philosophy makes a person more intelligent by studying it. In fact, I think it makes them less intelligent.
Smart people think for themselves. They don't pollute their minds with the bad ideas of others. You will never innovate by copy/pasting long dead idiots.
It depends on what you consider philosophy. I would argue that people like Foucault, Sartre, and Beauvoir should be read because their line of thought is what is currently being taught.
I don't need to read Marx to know Marxism is stupid. Why pollute my brain with stupidity?
Imagine thinking you are above sin, little worm. Thomas Sowell was a Marxist, do you declare yourself greater than him?
Sowell said he was a marxist for like 5 seconds in college until he realized how stupid it was.
