I've been ruminating that one since Marsha brought it up.  I'm pretty sure
he means that philosophy is  "all in your head".   And it sounds like his
contention is that what is in our head, doesn't match what science shows us
as "outside of ourselves."

A foolish philosophical position that no deep thinker holds, but Hawking
doesn't know that because his philosophy is dead.
