@chaosprime it is the professors that seem to do this most. See Colin McGinn & others.
@OrdQuelu Well, an enormous chunk of it is ethics, which is about constructing reality, not naturalistic reality. So that's kinda natural.

@chaosprime true, but it also has a tendency toward paternalism or ignoring underlying assumptions when it comes to ethics. -
@OrdQuelu Yeah, definitely. The largely-modern drive toward clarifying arguments is a reaction to that treatment of assumptions, I think. -
@chaosprime it has a long way to go before it can prove itself more than a relic of a bygone day. Not as bad as ego-psych though. -
@OrdQuelu If focused study of ethics and how knowledge works has become obsolete, we're in even more trouble than I thought. -
@chaosprime it hasn't. But the underpinnings of the way philosophy is practiced has become obsolete. Too much navel-gazing.
