@HealthUntoDeath The thing everyone on the left who wants to resist the encroach this technology into human culture needs to understand is that you don't need to be the Luddites, you need to be the Amish. I say this with the deepest respect for the Amish.
It's not that analytic philosophy has 'low-standards' of scholarship. The issue is that the discipline has largely degenerated into a sophistic exercise of the inanest scholasticism possible, camouflaged under a veil of formalism. Emulating the formal rigor of the sciences while being a completely masturbatory exercise in pedantry. Its professional insularity becomes indiscernible from incestuous esotericism, and it's no wonder nobody outside their departments cares about the field.
A great example is the voluminous literature on 'fuzzy' predicates and vagueness leading to copious publications that ponder 'how many grains of sand make a heap.' When people like Timothy Williamson can exert influence in a top research institution, it's a symptom that the discipline has lost its way.
