don't worry, "philosophical stuff" is something totally different than philosophy

I'm a self proclaimed psued. I unironically believe the most interesting, a/effective , provoking ideas emerge from pseudom as opposed to rigorous academic philosophy which replicates structural trends (sometimes ...I feel like I'll walk back on this hard lol)

pseuds can outpace rigorous academics by a huge factor because they don’t have the overhead of keeping every single one of their thoughts tagged with its citations

No one can take seriously at this point the idea that being a university employee makes your ideas more valid or interesting.

I certainly agree with that, but it also does seem to me that university philosophy (the field I know best) is on average better than philosophy produced by folk outside. Not, mind you, cos university philosophy is all that good.

This does raise the question of what counts as “good” philosophy and why. Of course any good philosopher thinks hard about that. However, the institutional incentives of academic philosophy do not seem conducive to what I’d count as “good” work.
