What philosopher deals with meaning?

Linguistics, because the entire issue of "meaning" is resolved when you define the word.

whoever "wrote" this can't think and can't write.

Anyways, almost all of them do. Keywords are "Symbol" and "Representation"

I'm OP and I wrote this. I know it's shit, I've been drinking. I have several ideas in my head going a mile a minute and It's terribly difficult to bring into existence these thoughts.

I find I express my thoughts more eloquently when I'm in correspondence with someone irl (typically via e-mail). There's a reputational cost to sounding like an idiot, and a social pressure to reduce your thoughts into the most clear and brief expression possible.

Essentially, read articles by academics on topics you're interested in, then e-mail them an original thesis veiled as a question about their own work. In my experience most will respond.

Well, I write much better when sober, but this is an out of the box idea alright. I might try.
