>Big Boys of English Speaking academia
>Singer
The philosophical equivalent of Judge Judy, Singer's self-contradictory pap ("abortion and infanticide are acceptable because these immature humans are incapable or rational preference" vs. "rationality is not a requirement for ethical conduct. Any irrational being will avoid pain, which is why cruelty to animals is unethical", which are flatly contradictory positions). Makes money by writing books that tell Liberals 'doing what you want is A-OK"
A buffoon.
>Chomsky
A decent linguist, his work in every other field is no more (or less) than self-serving rent seeking which he publicly admits that he, himself, does not believe.
Darn good at making a buck of gullible college students, but (unless you are speaking of linguistics, where he is very good) not a big academic.
>Dawkins
A mediocre-at-best scientist who will leave exactly zero mark on actual science, he became popular as a writer of PopSci books. When that income source dried up (because his theories were soundly thrashed by scientists) he switched to a series of popular books trashing what he thinks religious people might believe.
Never was a great thinker, never will be.
>Rorty
A man who counted on his readers having never heard of Gorgias, Rorty took facile rhetoric, relabeled it neopragmatism, and sold it like snake oil.
>Chalmers
About time an actual academic appeared. although, to be fair, while he does a fine job of reminding everyone of the hard problem, he has no answers. Which is no one's fault.
>Dennett
Refuses to use proper terms, mainly to hide that, deep down, he he knows any clear statement of his theories leads to eye-rolling
Not a serious academic.

He's one of the few figures in public life that points out the fact not all religions are equal: some are worse than others. Islam is worse than Christianity. He points that out, while most atheists are cucks that only ever talk about Christianity.

He is pretty redpilled on most things like race and general opposition to PC culture, but he does tend to puss out when he gets heat for his comments.

And he called for the torture of real people, like prisoners in Gitmo bay. And he called for the killing of people for what would be legally protected free speech in America.

So, generally a horrible human being.

His book Moral Landscape is still pretty good.

Among social justice advocates like myself: He's still a brilliant biologist who was hugely influential in his field in the day. The Selfish Gene is a very influential classic text. Then, for whatever bizarre reasons, he mostly sold out humanism in favor of the assholes and misogynists.
