Why read old philosophy?
You know how, when your opinionated uncle reads a very high level description of some tech thing you know a lot about and then tells you how it will or won&#x27;t work, you kind of sigh and don&#x27;t even bother to try to explain just how much he doesn&#x27;t know about the subject? Engineers who&#x27;ve taken a few philosophy undergrad courses should keep that in mind when drawing broad conclusions about philosophy. I&#x27;m not saying you shouldn&#x27;t opine, but I&#x27;d suggest doing so with the appropriate amount of humility.
