Not a philosopher myself but this essay accurately captured my feelings regarding the state of philosophy indeed. It's hard for an amateur to find actual contemporary philosophy work that is not either some cryptic reexamination of classical work or gimmicky self-help books from trending gurus.
Also that quote hit the spot, at personal level:
"As MacMullan writes in ‘Jon Stewart and the New Public Intellectual’ (2007):
It’s much easier and more comfortable to speak to someone who shares your assumptions and uses your terms than someone who might challenge your assumptions in unexpected ways or ask you to explain what you mean."
Thank you to the author for this pleaser read!
