How would you show that all times are necessarily not those times when
philosophers come to any sort of conclusion? Maybe you missed an
attempt in the past that succeeded or maybe one will come to a
conclusion a minute after you say they can't. Can you show how those
times would impossible?

Philosophy is not about coming to conclusions: it is all about the
process by which we discover that no conclusions are possible.

Philosophy studies and questions knowledge using dialects and methods which
change, going back and forth through many iterations until an idea either
passes away or finally yields to the scientific method, becomes practical
and profitible, then the subject leaves the realm of philosophy.

Unlike hamsters with their running wheels, philosophers need treadmills. At
least they think they are getting somewhere :-)

Philosophy without Science and Religion is sterile and impotent. Once
properly seeded, as by the Word of God or by genuine spiritual
initiation or scientific reflection, Philosophy can thereafter yield a
rich abundance of true conclusions. Whitehead's speculative
philosophy is a prime example of what I am talking about.
