My problem with modern philosophy can be traced to both modern philosophers and people in general.
People in general will often not listen to new ideas, because they've been conditioned to believe in a universal right and wrong and won't consider new ideas because they're too weird or bizarre. Let's say I proposed the idea of consensual cannibalism to someone, more often than not, they'll problem simply be disgusted by this idea, and neglect it because it's "weird". They're too used to a comfortable life where nobody questions anything
My problems with modern "philosophers" are
1 - Usually their ideas have already been implemented by people who are smarter than them.
2 - They see their ideas as revolutionary, but will likely not document these ideas except for on social media such as Twitter or Facebook.
3 - They won't even consider others points of views, and will make shitty Ad Hominem arguments to avoid productive conversation.
I would say, nowadays, unless we can truly have productive debates regarding new philosophies that benefit our society in some way, we may as well erase the idea of philosophy entirely.
