"I think the quality personal insight is wholly separate from the
group consciousness insight.  One cannot feel the other."


I read that article about the Death of Philosophy and have been thinking a
great deal about it... so pardon if I just go off on you here without much
further ado, but I'd say pretty much the opposite - isn't quality personal
insight defined by group consciousness insight?

 If nobody hears your tree falling, how do you know it even exists?  If
there is no external validation of a thought, then it's insanity - not
truth.

But beyond all this, there is the meaning of meaning - what we share as a
group has a consensual aspect - we must agree upon meaning in order for
meaning to live.  It's fundamental to all philosophy and I don't see how the
discovery of this simple and fundamental postulate is any sort of "death" to
philosophy,

But then I'm just starting on my Royce's  Philosophy of Community.  What a
rich field of research you virtual community of philosophers make as a
companion volume!
