Great piece. Thanks.

I might be totally wrong, but maybe a minor typo here:

“Let’s tackle the question why it went answered for so damn long. (I don’t mean to imply that it’s fully solved now.)”

Did you mean “unanswered?”

I'm coming to the end of my philosophy degree and have decided to abandon it when I am done. But this sounds interesting.

It seems language is in the way. What language could be stripped away in order to move forward?

Also, if the science has run it's course on something and things still feel unanswered, could we spin that thing back out so-to-speak?

A big one I'm thinking about for the latter one is "scientific management."
