Haydn on Fake Noûs

That doesn't seem like evidence that the issue is philosophers rather than philosophizing. I.e., to me it seems equally expected on both hypotheses. And if it's philosophizing (i.e., if thinking very hard about a "philosophical" topic is unusually likely to lead people to bizarre, revisionary conclusions), such that smart people in other fields would endorse weird views (at the same rate) if they philosophized more, that doesn't seem to count against skepticism. But of course, if philosophers or their methods are biased, that would. It definitely seems common for people to self-select out of the field because it seems like a waste of a time. EDIT: An example a "non-philosophers" endorsing skeptical views might be LessWrong, which is mainly STEM people with no formal training in philosophy. But moral anti realism and reductionism about consciousness are very popular/the dominant views.
