I think you're an ass Eliezer. But you are fun. I'm an ass too. most philosopher's are. You should consider that the analytic tradition is mostly an evolutionarily extinct avenue of philosophy. I do think that you are basically right however. Cognitive science and AI is certainly one of the most important aspects of metaphysics. But ultimately atomically modeling the entire cosmological evolution is the real goal of metaphysics. Everything else is just nerds entertaining themselves.
