All the philosophy commonly discussed on this board was developed at a time where we were deeply ignorant of the workings of nature and our own bodies.
The last 200 years had a massive change of paradigm for all sciences, and the last 100 years even more so, and the last 50 years even more. The scientific developments about physics, medicine, neuroscience, genetics, astrophysics and etc show how staggeringly limited our understanding of the universe was for all of the previous history.

How can any philosophy made before this actually have any legitimate points about the nature of reality or the human experience? By definition so much knowledge was out of the reach of those philosophers. They were basically rambling opinions, which you people still repeat to this day.

It's impossible to shake the impression that philosophy students have an insane amount of hubris that comes from a deep ignorance of scientific developments. If you understood even 1% of the results found on the last 80 years you would probably never be able to read a philosophy book again and take it seriously.
