Welcome.
That post... is nonsense. To say that philosophers 'ramble about inconsequential nonsense' is about as untrue as you can get. Are ethics unimportant? Is political philosophy? Knowledge? Logic? The nature of the mind? The basis and problems with the methods of science?
Philosophy is essentially the widest framework of enquiry possible. The criticism of it as being nonsense is in essence the labeling of all enquiry as nonsense.
