I appreciate your generosity, but my previous experience in humanities don't come even close to being "accolades.
You're entirely right in thinking I have no real academic credentials in philosophy. I just wanted to point out where I was coming from since most people on Hacker News have a STEM background and you might have been making that assumption about me.
So I thought this information might be relevant for your argument. It turns out it is not, which is totally fine.
you finding Derrida cryptic(which can describe much of the post modern french) is understandable, but calling him a charlatan makes little sense, you at that point would be calling much of the discipline a charlatan discipline. though in the contemporary his philosophies are frequently cited to be argued against, his concepts such as deconstruction of philosophy brought much to the table.
congratulations on your accolades but they don't really seem like rigorous studies to help you understand academic philosophy.
