Don't you agree that real philosophy has ended? (Heidegger) What you guys

Don't you agree that real philosophy has ended? (Heidegger) What you guys practice is conceptual hairsplitting and prostitution to successful sciences that DO have an object of research and a genuine method. What is the object of philosophy and what is its method? Do you really believe that philosophy is some kind of science? Where are its results and how does it progress? Don't you think philosophy is useless, except as a feel-good sense-giving practice, without real sense of itself? Philosophy is more akin to art than to science, because both are incapable of giving sense to life, whereas science and technology shape our lives and direct us towards oblivion. There will never be a philosophy to stop that... Sorry to disturb your dreams!
