So I get the impression that important philosophical ideas take a while to circulate until they affect the ordinary population: Only a few intellectuals take them seriously, then it spreads out within academia, then popular artists and writers incorporate this into their works, then it becomes part of the common mindset even if people never heard of the originator. So how long do you think it will take your takedown of Kant to affect society as a whole?
50 years. The Darwin takedown will be fully accepted within 10 due to technological advancements that require abandoning evolution even in its expanded form, whether it is credited or not.
I'm of the opinion that it'll take two generations of philosopher professors to die off before Kant gets his proper place on the dust bin of history. So, yeah, fifty years sounds about right.
There's an argument that figures like Vox are vanguards about things people merely suspect and feel but can't put into words. So when these people, failed by society founded on Kant, look for real answers they'll pile into the avenues that are best carved out already such as Veriphysics. My bet is upon the death of the last people who grew up in Kant supremacism and the maturation into adulthood of people who never liked Kant. In 50 years a child now who never knew when globohomo at least appeared to work will be a university professor, so I agree with the rough figure.

Let us celebrate, how ever long it will take.
