This is post-Wittgenstein philosophy, i.e. philosophy is just about very carefully analyzing sentences about material objects in a purely material world.

Philosophers basically get to argue about how the deck chairs get to be arranged on the Titanic.

Yes, but it's the physicists who get to do the actual arranging.
