“Care less about human intuitions and concepts” here means “care less about intuitions and concepts to the extent they’re human-specific” (e.g., care more about bottom quarks, less about beauty). It of course doesn’t mean “don’t use intuitions or concepts”.
My advice is based on my observing the track record of different people thinking about metaphysics, and generalizing habits that I think explain why some metaphysicians do better than others.
Before accepting my advice, I’d expect philosophers to first want to hash out a bunch of object-level disputes with me to establish why I think this vs. that philosopher is performing better in the first place.
For your readers’ benefit, maybe just say what you mean, or actively look for a crux, instead of fencing/sparring? I’m having a very hard time figuring out what you are thinking.
Can you demonstrate a form of epistemology that works with no intuitions (unfounded assumptions) at all?
If not, can you show that philosoohy is actually using using more than he unavoidable minimum of intuitiins.?

Would you consider rephrasing it, then?
And why should people stop caring about what they care about? What meta-value is that based on?

You seem to be saying that humanistic philosophy fails..but how are you judging that?

I don’t have to belong to some fixed ideology.
