About my thread (nothing serious)

In summary, the conversation was about a thread on a forum where the OP made several unclear and ambiguous claims about a unified theory of perception. The conversation involved 20 well-put questions and comments from other users, but the admin eventually stated that the subject was not fit for meaningful philosophical discussion due to the lack of strong justification. The OP argued that philosophy should entertain dubious claims, but the admin remained skeptical. The OP respected the admin's point of view and thanked them for the learning experience.

After 20 well-put questions about the several claims I made in this thread (https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=98840), hypnagogue admin wrote:

I could go on like this for the remainder of the post, but I will refrain. The post is littered with claims whose meanings are exceedingly unclear and ambiguous and whose truth values are highly in doubt, without the benefit of any strong attempts at justification. This subject of discussion, as presented here, is not fit for any meaningful or productive philosophical discussion.

Any strong attempts of justification would require several pages long. So I can only conclude that only mainstream theories and things that are common-sense in the scientific community are discussed here. Even though Philosophy should indeed present dubious claims if we want it to be considered as a true science.

I agree with your skepticism. But the meaningul part was yet to come, after a sufficient number of questions or comments would have been made. The subject I was talking about is actually an unified theory of perception that yields everything you can think about. So it's clear that, to reduce everything in a simple thread, lots of unclear claims are needed. Unclear, productive and meaningful are all concepts dependant of your perception, which was so easily offended.

Anyway I respect your point-of-view. I learned from your behaviour and will continue my book with a renewed view. Thank you.
