>Not an argument.
It actually is an argument. I'm not saying that it isn't a worthwhile pursuit and that philosophy doesn't have a right to exist, but at this point in academic philosophy, what new is really going on? Going to a philosophy department is just depressing, I should have stayed at home reading books.

>Philosophers try to answer questions that probably don't have an answer. We have been playing this nonsense game since the Greeks.
Yeah, it's basically this but it's really bad nowadays. I mean, back at least in the 18th to the end of the 20th Century new things were being discovered in philosophy and all but at this point it has mostly reached a stalemate. Kinda like art after abstract art. The amount of brainlets and pseuds in philosophy departments is just fucking astounding holy shit.
