Everyone is welcome to stay in their high-school-knowledge-fueled fantasy land and argue about language (both right and left, mind you) while others go and do things that actually matter.

No one will be capable of doing anything that matters if we can't communicate simple ideas to each other, such as basic biological taxonomies.

Everyone who is capable of doing anything important at all can navigate a little bit of vague language

Are you saying that philosophers can't deal with a little bit of language & context?

No. I'm saying that vast swathes of continental philosophy has dealt with language. Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault. You're saying it doesn't matter and the whole project is therefore aufheben.

Researching language and related concepts = important. Some weird conservative tantrums about language that don't actually serve any purpose aside from memetic warfare = not important.

It's amazing how fast meme wars become "unimportant" to people when they start losing them.
