The only non-joke answer I could think of is aesthetics. So, philosophers should be nothing more than glorified art critics.
Modern western philosophy is glorified art critics but with tenure
Apparently, this is Bertrand Russell, so it makes a lot more sense. I guess philosophers are supposed to only concern themselves with formal logic and writing three volume works to prove 1+1=2. That and critiquing movies you haven't seen like Zizek.
Does that mean youtubers are the modern day philosophers? 🤔
Modern aesthetics are concerned with human experience and material realities,especially when it comes to taste and smell aesthetics.
