Is there any value to a philosophy department at universities or it is intellectual "underwater basket weaving"?

@chaosprime it is the professors that seem to do this most. See Colin McGinn & others. -
@OrdQuelu "Cognitive closure" guy? That seems straightforward; throwing your hands up in the air and citing ineffability isn't obscure. -
@chaosprime no, his bullshit excuses for sexually harassing his grad student. -
@OrdQuelu Trying to figure out what of his blather is said excuses. It's difficult. At least on twitter, annoying vaguetweeting is short. -
