Some people never finish a degree... but they go on to create Wikileaks, and become a profit for mankind.

Your argument is invalid. The number of philosophies has nothing to do with their merit, effectiveness, or utility. You can say the same of the different branches of science (science IS a philosophy) but it would sound absurd to say that. You used a red herring to distract from the critical issues- what is philosophy and what are its uses. That is an error in logic and logic is a branch of philosophy. You tried to make a judgment based on available information. That IS philosophy

"My Philosophy" by Ben Folds Five

I think you might be missing the point of the video. Many people argue that you can't do anything with a degree in philosophy. Instead, they argue that you should study something "practical". The point here is that a number of successful people have majored in philosophy and gone on to apply that degree in a whole range of professions/activities. Also,this isn't a list of people that are philosophers, only ones who have started with a degree in philosophy and have gone on to do interesting work

I am not sure why think this is "stupid" or a poor means of promoting the study of philosophy.
1. The list of people shown was generated from philosophy dept. websites across the U.S. and Canada.
2. The video shows that a degree in philosophy can be used for a number of different professions.
3. Philosophy does in fact mean "love of wisdom". Not to mention that there are very well established areas of philosophic study: ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, social and political, phil religion etc.
