Friendly suggestion to contemporary philosophers. If you want to produce worthwhile work stop being nitpicky morons and try to tackle the overarching, systematic issues. You are not going to find the small magical loophole that proves massive intricate systems of thought false.

There's no shortcut to wrestling with the whole thing, I'm afraid. The technical pico-detail that, once negated, brings down the whole structure isn't there, has never been there, and for systems surviving centuries could not be there. It's offensive and dishonest to posit it.

I understand that without such shortcuts, the only alternative is to actually do philosophy rather than stroll around in accountant cosplay, but alas, that's the deal.

We have managed to build an entire academic culture around a treasure hunt for glorified mudpie arguments. Half-hearted anti-intellectual excuses for dogmatists who would rather not bother with the whole thing. An outlook totally unbefitting the discipline of philosophy.
