I read the article and frankly it's a pretty garbage take on philosophy.
It's an even more garbage take on where modern or even post modern philosophy has taken us in terms of understanding. He seems to think philosophy ended with Wittgenstein (apparently even ended with Wittgenstein's first book).
It makes me think immediately of how Maciej obviously felt about PG sharing his thoughts in his Hackers and Painters essay that made Idlewords write this response[1]. The ideas and concerns in the philosophy article merit much the same response.
If you're looking for a good introduction of where philosophy since Wittgenstein might take you and why it's still one of humanities best tools I recommend the podcast 'Philosophise This'[2]

- HNLurker2 8y agoMy take on it was that philosophy could be more discovered after analytical and both continental. Why? My take on it was that because artificial intelligence is rising (never ever in history) the ratio between wisdom (philosphical) and intelligence will accelerate towards zero or small amount. Stupid isn't it? (Pg just made me think)
