Fantastic news! I rewatch your videos every few months when I need my "trench philosophy" fix. Keep it up, when you can. They're always worth the wait.

If you wanted to make it a series you could call it “Failures of Philosophy”

If you want it to be really click-baity then call it "Top 10 failures of philosophy - you won't believe number 7"

I loved your video. I always wanted to get into philosophy, but I always wondered the point of studying it in academia when I would have to sit through ancient philosophers who's ideas have long since been proven in more detail by other fields or debunked. And it not really having any standards.

How would you measure progress in the field of philosophy?

Hey AntiCitizenX I miss you and your videos! They have really helped me further develop my reasoning processes. I hope you can continue to put out more videos! It seems video of this caliber, and getting so in depth in philosophical content must be really hard. May I offer a suggestion for more videos and/or a second channel even? There are a lot of religious and pseudoscience videos out there, and a lot of people that debunk them from perspectives of educating the science, or getting into the bible passages, or doing the math, etc, but I haven't really seen anyone dig heavily into the LOGIC behind the arguments these people use like you could. You don't even need to get into IF the beliefs and conclusion they hold are right or wrong, just go into if the conclusion follow logically (which many times they don't). There is a plethora of these videos, so no worries of running out of content any time soon.

Try to use a thumbnail title and a video title, that way you maximize the amount of viewers because some will be attracted by the thumbnail and some by the vid title as for catchy clickable titles what do you think of these: "Why modern philosophy is a disaster", "Philosophy is broken, can we fix it?", "Most philosophers have no idea what they are doing", "The secret that philosophers dont want you to know", "The ugly truth of modern philosophy", "How philosophy failed us", "The biggest failure in all of philosophy", "Philosophy failed us, but we might have something better". Good luck with your video man! Looking forward to it

Veritasium has two interesting videos on how he manages his SEO. Beau of the Fifth column makes a lot of use out of the view retention statistics.

Veritasim made a video a few months ago about the problems with math. He called it “Math Has a Fatal Flaw”. Perhaps you can recycle that title into “Philosophy Has a Fatal Flaw”.

Philosophy: Engineered!
New video coming soon. It needs a good, click-baity title. I’m thinking “Philosophy is Broken. Here is How to Fix It.” It describes how academic philosophy is basically a gigantic mess that has no standards and thus makes no progress. It’s a culmination of my philosophical journey here on YouTube in which I finally get to show, once and for all, that the so-called “professional” philosophers really have no idea what they’re doing. I don’t mean that in a confrontational or arrogant way, but as a serious statement of “no, really, you guys have a major problem that we need to address.” I hope you all enjoy it and learn something from it.
