>Why aren't there threads discussing bio-semiotics and linguistics and media theory and narratology, ethnography and transhumanist theory, cybernetics, and all the interesting things to discuss philosophically that are only possible today?
I've yet to see a good argument come from realms beyond pure semiotics and linguistics, and a lot of this modern "philosophy" borders on pure media critique. By which I actually mean complete bullshit and fantasizing that would be better left to the realm of real narratives, since otherwise I can write my own critiques and analyses thank you very much. In fact who even needs someone else to tell them about the class dynamics in the narratives of pop culture peddled by ennuic capitalists and slaves neither of which gave a single fuck about any of it? Who cares about transhumanism or cybernetics when they're all a pipe dream and you can have those conversations while playing tabletop games and integrating them into your own stories? It's all bullshit. Creative fantasies and bizarre observations better left to stories cooked up by the type of person too lazy to take a creative writing course, or too fragile to actually put effort into anything. Most of which is also predated by, ironically enough, works in the canon that do explore these issues...through narratives. Themselves inspired by the same Hegelian cookbook these assholes peddle and preach. I hope coddled academics starve to death, I cannot think of a single more useless and parasitic species.
On the actual topic of philosophy: it's in a dark age. You can't ignore scientific development but it hardly paints the whole picture, which leaves you able only to theorize about the incomprehensible or shut up, be someone useful and maybe find God. This is the age of explorers and poets, though it hardly feels that way.
