Philosophy is meta-thought

It's so simple I almost came in my pants when I had this revelation. If anyone ever asks you to define philosophy, just say "philosophy is the meta of thought". This is the clearest, simplest and most apt definition of philosophy there could ever be.

Language is the dried corpse of thought. Meta of language is linguistics.

Philosophy, on the other hand, is completely independent of language (do you believe the Japanese don't know their Kant from Schopenhauer?). Philosophy analyzes why what is being thought is being thought, and tries to guess what will be thought next. So the end result is a bunch of hogwash and gobsmack, but it would be wrong to think it is defined by a particular language. Philosophers are useless blabberers in all languages.
