Why does it seem like analytic and continental philosophy are so fundamentally intractable? Is the root of the problem that they aren't even asking or trying to answer the same questions?

Philosophical analysis means a very thorough, straightforward and rigorous tackling of problems: analytical literature is almost always didatic and plainly expositive in form. A Nietzschean work, for instance, puts forth its arguments in a way more lateral fashion; literary devices are plenty and the conclusion might be open-ended. This difference in form alone makes it very difficult for analytics and continentals to estabilish a dialogue, with many ensuing accusation of obscurantism, lack of rigour, lack of nuance and positivism. I personally think analytic reads more like science/math than anything, while continental reads like literature. In conclusion, I think the disconnect is more due to the way they ask questions rather than the questions being asked

This... plus the strong dash of autism in many analytical philosophers.

If you compare the extremes, of course they can't be reconciled. Mathematics of Russell has nothing in common with the erratic, bitter philosophy of Nietzsche, but if you compare Kant with the analytics or Aquinas you'll find a lot more ground in common.

I don't much about its intricasies, but, say, the Pittburgh school, namely now mostly Brandom, have some proposal regarding at least a mild form of conversation? An example being his reading of Kant/Hegel (The Spirit of Trust, and some of his other writings, like Reason in Philosophy where he exposes more clearly his views).
I´ve read even in some of Zizek's books, I think it was Dispartities where there's a chapter "Against the renormalization of Hegel" inside of which he shittallks brandom/pippin.

Kant is far enough back that analytics study him, but not that well. They can't really into Hegel, but some try.

Attempting to work in both? Why and how?
