Only AI can save academic philosophy! The purview and, frankly, quality of recent human accessions to the profession has atrophied to a far cry from the giants of erudition that I still had the honor of meeting. They are increasingly unable to manage a broad grasp of the craft.

Philosophy rules: To condition admission into a philosopher cult, earn respect by colleagues, confused reverence from unstudied plebeians, and untouchability, you must pick a philosopher saint as your protector and recite as many terms of art specific to your idol as possible.

Academic #philosophy is traditionally diseased by dogmatic and organizational authoritarianism and tribal cronyism. This predestined it as an ideal breeding ground for parasitic ideologies rejecting free thinking and discussion. Its Karmic elimination is therefore well-deserved.

What is eternal? From what we know, only logic is. So is the universe then not its function? A self-programming where binaries correlate and their constructs evolve? Do we live in logic? An original "simulation"? Difficulties of sourcing and identifying physicality suggest this.

On public philosophy: There is a way to write relevant content for all to understand. Truths are simple by nature. And it is refreshing to lay out an argument in itself, without references, citations, and footnotes. It also forces us to be considerate, clear, and honest.

Western Philosophy's acts to address its flagrant supremacism are often just as racist: Admitting, advancing, and hiring based on race, patronizingly selecting foreign philosophy, and teaching by white opportunists who identify as experts after reading a few translated texts.

Classic German Philosophy, incl. Enlightenment and Idealism was an ingenious way to pretend conformance with religious and state dogma, while adjusting the concept of god and authority to nature, and further principle, i.e. logic. A better name: "German Logic and Rationalism".

Does anybody else have a problem with epistemological and ontological premises, arguments and deductions being based on book knowledge and institutional or personal pressures and episodic subjective experiences to believe what we read? A fool's errand rightly rejected by science.

Endlessly pathetic how philosophy colleagues vie for attention and renown by over-the-top attacks on industries of various kinds about which they read in the library and on-line, but otherwise know practically nothing. Currently, it's AI's and its creators' and advocates' turn.

Why am I so insistently marking hypocrisy in philosophy? Because it poisons philosophy's truth-finding mission. Pretense is the most damaging force in current philosophy. You cannot speak or write truth anymore without being ostracized. The dark ages of evil spirits are upon us.

Martin Janello @martinjanello.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

The principal crime of Analytic Philosophy is not its conversion of German/Austrian scholarship in Logic, nor even its divorce from what it coined "Continental Philosophy". It is foremost its denial and destructive devolution from British Empiricism of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume.

How is it that contentious discussion of opposites was considered the native frequency of a free, vibrant society up to one moment - and then rather suddenly became offensive deserving punishment. That this perversion includes philosophy is both sad and comically self-defeating.

There is a fundamental misconception in current academic #philosophy that every mass psychosis or cultural perversion deserves its own subdiscipline. And that grounded, balanced normality doesn't. The result is a freak show populated by freaks. "Public" philosophy gone insane.

On public philosophy: Can we expect institutionalized scholars or those aspiring to that status to engage beyond tokens? It is asking bureaucrats to be revolutionaries, nobility to mingle with plebeians, monks to become wordily. They have neither interest nor requisite skills.

Writing interludes for my proto rock opera. There are two ways to approach music, and maybe all else. One is mathematical, logical. Music theory. Bach. The other is sitting down with a piano or guitar and inventing. Also Bach. All the good stuff comes to me by "What was that!??".
