Ok but who/what is modern philosophy for? It's not like the 18th century where someone like Kant drops a bomb and the world goes nuts. Today nobody cares. Especially if your work is just another derivation of idealism. Nobody cares anymore, it is anachronistic. Most "hardcore" philosophy on YouTube I've seen gets just a couple thousand views at best. Apparently some of them write books as well. For who? Who reads them? What's the point? Philosophy has nothing more to offer in the field of metaphysics. It will never have a meaningful impact again. Today the only real philosophy is done by someone like Jordan Peterson. I am not making a value judgement on his work, but what he's doing. The only meaningful place for philosophy in the future is in its socialization. The only modern philosophers who will be remembered in 100 years are those who today recognize this fact and make use of it. I fully intend to exploit this on YouTube at some point.
