Extremely based post. This is exactly how I felt while reading Kant. Other philosophers like Plato or Descartes are concise and yet manage to express deep insights. Kant (and his fellow German idealists) are unnecessarily verbose while lacking in depth. Kant turned philosophy into language games and into a superficial contest of making trivial statements appear more intellectual than they actually are by hiding them behind a wall of overcomplicated pseudo-eloquence. And this is the point where STEM became superior to philosophy. STEM doesn't need overcomplicated language, STEM follows in the footsteps of the real philosophers explaining eternal truths as simple as possible.

Kant is a midwit, his writing style is autistic and he adds nothing inherently new to philosophy which hasn't already been said before by Plato or Descartes. The only reason people worship Kant is because his German autism resonates with their own pseudery.
