I thought that http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2009/12/what_do_philoso.html was a fantastically useless survey.

So did I, for most part. The best response to some of those questions would be "Sod off. The mistake is asking that question in the first place, and neither answer is meaningful. Reality just doesn't carve there."
