I seem to have an entirely different opinion of philosophy. Your take is: we shouldn't take philosophy serious? It's just a bunch of random ideas that sometimes help you think in another way? That would explain the esteem for Heidegger and Derrida.
Unfortunately, someone posted a list of articles written on panpsychism. It's really well beyond "your" style of philosophy. And people in all kinds of branches of science (used to) apply Derrida's ideas. So when the original comment wrote "a respectable philosophical theory", I didn't take it to mean: a toy for the empircally challenged.

- cf141q5325 3y agoRegarding what its good for, it allows you to think about higher complexity problems. For example, you wont be able to create a complete ontological description of reality, but there is still some insight you can gain. Epistemology has value, it gave you the scientific method. Its just that that is a later step that has to stand on its own.
