Chuck said in an interview this song was indeed about Paul Masvidal. The lyrics are basically about pseudo-intellectuals who preach bullshit in general. They make conjectures about things that don't actually matter or pertain to real life and are so immersed in their bullshit ideas that are lacking in any sort of substance. I don't believe Chuck is ignorant enough to be condemning philosophy as a whole though, merely just the pseudo-intellectuals. As an amateur philosophy scholar myself, I myself must agree with his sentiments.
