I would still appreciate it if there was anyone here who understands a bit about physics. JW is charging BK with misrepresenting parts of physics, twisting it etc. I would like to inquire if that is true or not, for example in the case of realism which JW talks about
. So to chose time-frames of his videos and then challenge that or argue for why it is at least legit to interpret things in a certain way (JW calls it twisiting), that would then finally get to the gist of it, after all he created 2 videos. The potential problem is two-fold, it will be rejected by JW since it will automatically a metaphysical discussion, which involves ontology and interpretation, but I think thats the only way to add another layer on top of the layers that have been unfolding here, as elegant as some arguments have been made in sometimes great prose by different participants. Another is that he says he does not care about any opinions here. We probably all agree that nobody can nail the idealistic argument so that someone has to "buy it", we can only argue for it as something we can leave the door open to through interpreatation. After all "twisted" seems to mean taking the truth and twisting it to be false. So thats just my idea. You know where to find his videos.

So the problem is that we have a mysterian who wont have "any of it" and idealists on the other side ,,,,,,,who are probably not in the best position to have a convo at all, as I think we could see. JW does not argue for, neither does he defend anything, other than others being wrong. Thats what makes this odd. He does not want to watch the course by Bernardo and he does not like thee "5 criteria", it kind of leaves me shrugging my shoulders.
There are a few ideas for JW but he his closing the doors to all of them, a bit like Dennett maybe, wo referred to himself as "slayer of metaphysical fantasies". To find the true metaphysical postion simply is not what interests him, it does interest him, regrettably in my view, to just respond and like so be in the limelight a bit too much, which is also a way of positioning himself. Its difficult to have a discussion that is based on comments like "enjoy your fantasies" so my impression that he is "gracious" only because he posts in a forum like all of us do may not be on par with some of yours, but then again I could be wrong. I think JW thinks he is mainly swatting flies. Its kind of a pitty, but we could carve out a small space where like I said we can mine at least a few more interesting exchanges before maybe a new interesting thread will be opened by whoever.
So who will comment on the things he said about physics, who will have an in-depth look at his 2 vids so that we can tund up the quality of this thread?
