my feeling about philosophy is that it kind of got side tracked during the 20th century. In the words of John Searle, the last 50 years of 20th century philosophy is obviously false. That includes existentialism which was proven false by a 13-year-old eight grader listening to Sarte about how meaning different for every person. You construct your own meaning. The eight grader asked him "Then why are you talking? Robert Hanna has shown that so-called analytic philosophy is of historical interest only. The case i however even more severe, It is all about truth and meaning of words and is totally innocent of awareness that meaning is 100 percent subjective without the slightest bit of objectivity in it, For example the word "Dog" ha meaning only to me and to whom I am talking to. In itself it has zero relation to the dog except in the minds of people talking. [I mean to say that it has zero relevance to objective reality. and after all what is the point of philosophy but to have an idea of what objective reality is all about. Well, here you have about 10 years of supposed rigorous philosophy which has no relance at all to objective reality.]
