Alternative assessment:  Those of us interested in building "things" (no, I don't feel like playing word games about what a "thing" is) shall do so, while those interested in merely talking about "philosophy" shall satisfy their own ambitions accordingly.

Some day I'll relate the story of a philosophy course that I enrolled in, only to drop out three agonizing hours later after suffering through the professor's pontifications about "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it..."

Bottom line: we can choose to ignore "philosophy", but we can't make it go away.
