Where are the successful philosophers in general? His opening complaint is that the most successful rationalist philosophers are stuck in academic philosophy and then goes on to name the only modern philosophers I've ever heard of. Academic philosophy has long been a circle jerk that occasionally in a moment of triumphant success becomes useful as a side note to something in AI research or whatever. I mean, when was the last time that an academic philosophy paper made it to the front page of HN?( which is probably the most receptive mainstream audience that is ever going to exist for something like that)
