Can someone explain what the fuck Naming and Necessity is about? I'm a brainlet and could not understand the Standford article about Kripke

The epistemic a-priori and posteriori distinction can be separated into a metaphysical component constituting necessity and contingency. Something like water is H2O is one example of a-posteriori necessity. Descriptivism about proper nouns is wrong, definitions actually pick out the objects they refer to because they are rigid designator across all possible worlds ergo, essentialism is true and philosophy is actually more than just an analysis of language, but can actually reveal substantive truths about the constitution of reality

Brainlet here. Can you unpack that phrase? Or provide an example somehow? I want to understand essentialism.

like what though? Philosophy never produces "Truths", just questions and techniques for not quite answering them
