I guess I've thought of the forum more or less as "Metaphysical Speculations" which to me indicates a wide ranging discussion of consciousness and/or matter, including scientific, spiritual, and philosophical dimensions, with some slight bias (which I am fine about) in the direction of idealism. Of course, I may have been in error on this.
Let's see... this essay you keep posting in, and thereby keeping at top of the forum list
, is about consciousness (idealism), references science, spirituality, and quotes philosophers at length. Solipsism is a topic BK refers to a lot and has not been discussed here in awhile. So what exactly is your complaint, again?
Perhaps you should have posted this in Topic Specific Argumentation?
I am going to take the initiative and develop some guidelines for myself, in the hopes that it will cut out this meaningless back and forth in the future, and leave certain people with no excuse to complain.
1) Essays posted by myself or Cleric - I will freely comment on these
2) Topics directly mentioning Anthroposophy, spiritual science, Steiner, PoF, phenomenology of cognition-thinking - same as above
3) Comments or questions directed specifically towards me or mentioning me indirectly - same as above
4) Topics which pertain to modern idealism and idealist philosophers (and Jung) - I will comment to the extent I feel they are misrepresented, but will not bring in any of the topics from #2.
4) Topics pertaining to "MAL", "alters", "dissociation", or similar concepts directly linked to BK's idealism - I will not comment unless one of the above also applies.
5) Topics pertaining to materialism - I will probably not even read these, let alone comment on them.
