## Highlights
- Yet I wonder if a culture that treats thinkers as “knowledge workers” and optimizes for “productivity tools” rather than “discernment tools” ends up leading to an intellectual culture that is superficial and fleeting.
- Maybe the problem is distribution. Somewhere out there, great philosophers are writing into the void, but there is no audience to notice them because the world is overrun with noise. One could argue that there is no mass “attention market” for philosophy.
