"Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern. Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies. Philosophy is just a hobby. You can't open a philosophy factory."

That text is under the Religion, Politics, and Philosophy forum here. Is that a joke by comedian Emo Philips?

Thank you.
