EY is a rare thing. Right or wrong, he is a modern day philosopher. He has ideas he makes the case for strongly and eloquently.

EY is not rare, but he is famous by proximity to powerful/wealthy actors. There are many philosophers, likely more than ever in history. Aside from professional philosophers, there’s a large pipeline of PhDs “doctor of philosophy” who work at a high enough level of abstraction in their own field to be considered a philosopher.
