I am not considering what Bostrom/Grace/Besinger/ do philosophy strictu sensu in this question.
After repleaceability considerations have been used at Ben Todd and Will Mac Askill's theses at Oxford, and Nick Beckstead made the philosophical case for the far future, is there still large marginal return to be had on doing research on something that is philosophy strictu sensu?
I ask this because my impression is that after Parfit, Singer, Unger, Ord, Mac Askill and Todd we have run out of efforts that have great consequential impacts in philosophical discourse. Not because improvements cannot be made, but because they would be minor in relation to using that time for other less strictu sensu endeavours.
