Not exactly.

That's actually quite interesting. I'd like to read about the philosophy of philosophy, why a particular person would need to study it and how can the points that you've raised be satisfactorily addressed. Personally for me, when I read great philosophers (the Greeks, Nietzche, Stirner, Schopenhauer), very quickly I come across passages which are objectively wrong, or make assumptions without giving any attempt to justify them (which need to be justified, because they're very non-obvious). It's come to the point where I'm starting to believe all classical philosophy is useless and stopped taking stock in it. In mathematics, when someone claims to solve the riemann hypothesis and the first point of their proof is objectively wrong or unjustified, people usually don't bother to read further and recognize the person as a crank, which he is. I'm starting to believe that a similar approach should be taken with regard to philosophy.

Are there actually smart people on /lit/?
I haven't met one yet.

Is there a place like /lit/ but for smart people?
This is depressing.
