>The Repugnant Conclusion is one of those silly problems in philosophy that don’t make much sense outside of academics.

Not even for academics. It's something for "rational"-bros.

(Real, academic philosophers actually care about the case, too.)

[coldtea]

Only because the practice (in the US mostly) has been watered down a lot to include all kinds of rational-bros in the tradition of "analytical philosophy", usually also involved in the same circles and arguments with the wide rational-bro community.

Then again the opposite side has also devolved into a parody of 20th century contintenal philosophical concerns with no saving grace.
