Okay, it's a quiet Saturday evening and the crowds are already past this fad, so... I'll tweet one unpopular opinion per Like within 30min of this tweet.
Limit 15, but I'll try to make them as real as I can without naming names.

This is brilliant. 'Western philosophy isn't real philosophy' - I vaguely remember seeing tomes of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in your bookshelf when you posted pictures. :)

could you elaborate or point to reading on this. Asking for a friendly fish who’s only ever lived in western waters

The 3-way western divorce between philosophy, literature, and theology in the West strongly impoverished the philosophy piece. I look to the literature and (christian) theology in the west for the higher quality western philosophy thinking.
What about the continental versus analytical Western philosophy tradition?

Continental is stronger imo because the divorce is weaker. Analytical is mainly just language cleverness. Just do math and foundations of logic instead. Not saying either is bad. Just not as strong as they could be.
