Based. Logical positivism is the end game of philosophy. Any philosophy not done with symbolic logic is garbage.

Now I like logic and all, I'm technically qualified to teach it...

But analytic philosophy is primitive, neurotic, and being a primarily anglosphere tradition, it is oblivious to the outside world. The anglosphere has a funny way of thinking that what it finds significant must be significant to everyone else too. A lot of it's just bad faith, Sam Harris tier attempts at owning the whole history of philosophy with moves of utter trivialization.

"Hegel, Kant, It's all quite elementary, you see... Now watch me spend thirty pages elaborating on the logical contents of the most miniscule, irrelevant bullshit you can imagine. Philosophy used to be about the biggest questions. We big boy analytic philosophers are turning all the tables, now it's about the SMALLEST questions! Wooo

>Be concrete! The example is often enough the content of the question. Wondering if time exists–what is this if not among other things wondering if you had breakfast before you had lunch? The examples shall be chosen so that they test how solid your big grandiose reasoning is and invites counterexamples. Never imagine that you're privy to great mysteries before you are privy to small ones!
