Really? I thought we might find a fruitful new line of inquiry into metaphysics, ontology, and epistemology, with talks about the philosophy of "innovation" and "synergy" and "skill-stacking to meet the flexible challenges of a freelance gig-economy while advancing 'green' affiliate multilevel marketing toolkits".

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I should be more sensitive to Poe's law.
I was trying vaguely to hint at the idea that all this lineup seems to have done is rediscovered pragmatism. But since it's dressed up in contemporary problems, it's being cast as a philosophical innovation.
