I agree this is a problem. In retrospect, reading Yudkowsky's Sequences was far more valuable to me than reading various pre-1900 philosophers' works firsthand.

Agree, though I think there is a benefit to reading the original writing of philosophy in the context of the time.

If something was a problem 2000 years ago, and it's still a problem now, odds are the universalism of the issue is innate to humanity, and still valuable now.
