As within anything complex there is a learning curve where you need to know and understand a certain amount of terminology before some further reading can be useful.
If someone doesn’t know the difference between a box-end wrench, a philips screwdriver, a mallet, a spring washer, and attempts to read a carburetor manual and service it, they will for sure end up with a non-running engine.
Philosophy is the very top or the very bottom of all knowledge, everything else is a specific branch of philosophy (even the function and operation of a carburetor). Whether you are conscious of it or not, you use philosophy to learn, to communicate, to work and play. Physics, geology, and political economy, are parts of philosophy.

You can’t live without it.
