Philosophical is a trait I have always avoided because I never feel like I make effective use of great people. Some are pretty obvious like the great scientist building in your science city, but if I have an entire city (of high quality to boot) dedicated just to great people farming it seems like I should figure out how to get the most out of it.
I know that bulbing and missions are good, but I'll openly admit I most often settle my GP or build their buildings. I just have a real problem "using them up" even though I know it's sometimes the right thing to do. The only exception is that it's fun to hurry wonders.
So what are good ways to set up your GP farm? Set it up for one or two types of GP only or get as many GPP as possible and worry about what kind of GP you get when it happens? What kinds of things do you often do with your GP that make them feel worth getting? Bulbing seems pretty popular, but how many turns does it save you? It has never "wowed" me the few times I've tried it.
Well, really any advice is helpful. I want to try a Philosophical leader but I'm afraid at this point it might as well be an empty trait if I can't use it well.
