>were silent in when asked by common language philosophers like Wittgenstein & Rorty: "& so what?"
What the fuck is this trying to say
Nathaniel Flores
nah, sry, but asking "so what" is much more a sign of an idiot than someone familiar with esoteric knowledge
if a botanist was explaining to me the specific way potato tubers grow and how it can be mathematically predicted, I would be the idiot for asking densely "so what?" just because I don't grasp the signifigance
tl;dr not all important knowledge has immediate utility
Lucas Garcia
potatoes are a staple food for millions of people and understanding the specific way in which they grow is immediately utilisable in maximising the efficiency of crop growing etc.
This hypothetical botanist would be able to tell you this instantly.
The vast majority of esoteric philosophy boils down to intellectual masturbation and not one would be able to respond to someone asking them ''so what?''
If your response to this is ''no you are just too stupid to get it'' then you are coping hard and by being unable to answer the question you only prove his point
Zachary Rivera
What are some philosophers that could answer the "so what?" question?
