The inexpressibility factor: finding proofs for the ineffable was always going to be a problem for non logicians. Does being a good mathematician make for a better, truer, more rational philosopher?

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?

If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.4h
I'm not sure what the two have in common.
If you can't express something to define it then you can't discuss it.
This doesn't necessarily require mathematics.
Given the arbitrary nature on how people define what good philosophy actually is I find it difficult at best to talk about 'better' philosophy.
Rational thinking likewise can be rationalized around any arbitrary definition so again there's no preferred reference frame to define better in that isn't itself arbitrarily defined.2h
No, not outside of formal logic and analytic philosophy.
Same goes for physicists that decide to meddle in philosophy.
For the latter especially, there is a long history of contemporary impact but quickly forgotten or embarrassing.48m
