Analytic Phil is so pure it doesn't have anything interesting to say. If it weren't for the Anglo cultural hegemony it would be a footnote in history.

As if Analytic Philosophy isn't the ultimate source of the mathematics behind computation lmao

About as much as the Greek Atomists are the ultimate source of modern physics.

You don't think that there's a more, err, close continuity between Gödel & Turing than Democritus & Newton?

Sure, but calling Goedel or Turing analytic philosophers is quite a stretch, especially if you are at the same time pedantic and insist Nietzsche was not.

Where, in your opinion, is the line between analytic philosophy & say, modal logic?

Neither Turing nor Goedel did modal logic, and it's not a very interesting distinction, but to not dodge the question: if it's based on (uses language and rules of) topology, mathematical logic, or abstract algebra, it's math.

I see you've snuck the word mathematical before logic. The point isnt that Turing & Gödel were doing modal logic, the point is that the substructure of mathematics is philosophical- & that THIS is the purest form of philosophy.

Sure, and you could claim the same for physics. But that doesn't tell you anything interesting except that philosophy is rather good at "rapid prototyping thinking". But such will inherently be messy.

So Pythagoras was only "rapid prototyping" or something

Heraclides definitely. Of course it doesn't apply to all philosophy, but it does to say Hegel, D&G (which already DeLanda pointed out), ...
