I often thought about perhaps returning for a Ph.D. in philosophy, but then my political incorrectness pops up, my energy and hankering for results and the pragmatic, and I realize that I'd probably abort the attempt after a year in frustration.
 

Same here, but then you have to learn to reproduce all the stupid crap that's been written by complete arseholes over the years and learn to talk  a 'special language' that isn't what anyone outside philosophy understands and by the time you have done that you have forgotten what it was you wanted to learn in the first place.

Then I think, what if I finance it and pay for it myself?

Indeed. Buy the books, read the texts, think about what they say and then throw the book in the bin.

Some days I think about going back to study psychology, and other days I think about getting a law degree for the pleasure of suing the state when I can, but I can do that without a law degree, so why bother?

Yup. Life's a bitch, and then you die. What is the point of anything really?
You think you have something important to say but very soon you realise no one wants to hear it. It's comfortable being a dumb sheep and  people want to stay that way: happy, dumb, ignorant and believing in shit because it's easier than facing reality.
And works just as well for the purposes of procreation etc.
