As a student in philosophy now (I know, I am such an expert /s) I agree. I like Paul Graham's take on it: http://www.paulgraham.com/philosophy.html . He doesn't argue precisely what you are arguing, but he offers a healthy condemnation that traditional philosophy needs.

A lot of primary sources in philosophy are translations / wickedly difficult to get through. Kant for example. Best to go to the secondary sources on philosophy imo.

I’ve noticed this myself. Philosophers are interesting until they start babbling on about philosophy.

There is a real possible world for each of us wherein our maximum contribution is via Lewis. Ch-checkmate?

Philosophers have the best norms for debates, as Haidt put it. I think the interesting-part is a byproduct of those excellent norms, and the training necessary to instill them.

The problem in my view is institutionalisation of philosophy rather than its applications. Philosophers are widely interesting, but write for other philosophers, whereas ideally in my opinion we would have more philosopher-managers.

I was a philosophy major. Philosophy itself gets pretty darn boring. But it is useful training in thinking and developing opinions in other things.

Philosophy is the art that trains the mind. Such people that do such are broad thinkers BECAUSE they trained their minds through philosophy.

I think philosophy has made definite contributions to logic and epistemology. Modal logic seems like a major advance? Other areas of philosophy don't seem to bear much relation to reality.

The trouble with philosophy is that it's done in 'far mode'. This 'big picture' thinking is very hit and miss , it's 'all or nothing' really. Either the philosopher will get a big major insight, or just end up babbling. And most of time, it is just babbling.

I like philosophers ask questions more than they answered it.
