it’s genuinely baffling how people expect philosophy to be immediately reducible to propositions in common parlance.
sometimes yes, you will have to do the homework to understand, i’m sorry. i can help get you to the right level of abstraction or provide some historical background,
but it might take a bit of time and effort on your part.
and especially if it’s a worthwhile author or the topic is remotely related to aesthetics, the presentation is a constituent element of the message
grappling with the ideas a little bit yourself and reflecting is less fun than shouting “yay” / “nay” at bald and dead husks but it might be worthwhile if you actually care about understanding
idk the philosophical conversation has never been my forte. there always seems to be a mismatch in some essential metric, and the time constraint imposed by the mode of interaction is a travesty for meaningful thought.
