There are many philosophy journals filled with long articles that also have no causal connection with reality. Why would you assume any given academic journal has to be publishing things that make sense, or are useful?

Why would you not? I don't even like philosophy, and I wouldn't assume they're just publishing nonsense.

Worth noting that Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity was not publishing in a philosophy journal. It was published in a litcrit journal which is a very distinct discipline.
