I don't like philosophy because it's not practical. Philosophy is like science but without experiments or evidence. Look at old school philosophers, they believed in really crazy things sometimes, people too. I don't blame them, obviously the information and knowledge they had at that time was limited and some of the conclusions they arrived at were somewhat logical at the time but they were wrong many times about many things, mainly because all they used was ''thought'' and a lot of assumptions.
Assumptions cannot be avoided. It does not matter how much science we do there will always be something at the foundation that is a priori.
Some of the ancient philosophers got into trouble because they based their worldview on multiple assumptions that were falsifiable. These assumptions were proven untrue and their constructed worldview was exposed as lacking coherence lacking truth. Other ancient philosophers were more cautious and their ideas are still deeply studied to this day.
Philosophy and assumption are not optional. Your only choice is to be aware of your assumptions or to close your eyes and embrace blindness.
