And there he goes missing the point again.
This is why I'm not offering commentary on most of his recent posts. Doron is, at this point, so far down the rabbit hole, with so many misrepresented, twisted, and outright misused terms couching his incoherent concepts that there's really no way to engage him in meaningful conversation. He misunderstands questions put to him, blames others for the misunderstanding, and then goes off on a complete tangent with no relation to anything being discussed.
Or, at least, not related in any way except in the confused muddle of his "theories". There are some broad, overarching themes in his posts that, taken together, give a semi-coherent look at what his beliefs are, but he really doesn't understand their limits. Or he's tried to remove them, rather, with his ideas of "Unity". After all, if all is one, he's free to bring anything he wants into the discussion at any point.
Basically, doron believes that the "truth" of reality is that, while it appears (to him) to be composed of the two opposing elements of matter and consciousness, it's actually all one substance. That's where his earlier mangling of neutral monism comes into play. Unfortunately, he doesn't really understand what neutral monism says, which is where his claims that both idealism and materialism can be true at the same time come from.
I do not know, because he is never able to express himself clearly on the subject, but I think the whole reason he falls into neutral monism is that he wishes to remove all contradictions from his worldview. This is fine; a philosophy that contradicts itself is incoherent and can be discarded, so working out those kinks is a good thing to do. But there's another problem.
Doronshadmi, to put it bluntly, is arrogant. He has an opinion of his own current level of knowledge and understanding that is too high. One example of this - not the only one, but an example nonetheless - is his constant problems with math.
Doronshadmi is fascinated by the concepts of one and infinity, bounded and unbounded, and so on. Ultimately, this is all an expression of his obsession with contradictions. To him, these concepts appear fundamentally opposed, and thus cannot exist in the same framework. The contradiction must be resolved, and so he bends over backwards to try and prove things like ".999... is not equal to 1", without ever considering that his assessment of things might simply be wrong, and there might be no contradiction in the first place.
Of course he can't be wrong. It is the
fundamentals of mathematics that are at fault.
Once the contradiction is established, he attempts to explain it away by saying that it is all just different, mystical expressions of the same thing, and it only appears contradictory to those who cannot perceive the truth of reality. From there, he brings in anything that appears to even remotely support this, from unified field theory to the idea of transcendental meditation allowing perception of truth. After all, unified field theory deals with the idea of "all is one", and transcendental meditation implies that we can
see that one.
Of course they're not just complete derails. They explain the contradiction!
The issue, of course, is that there is no contradiction to explain. He is the only one that sees it. He is offering solutions to problems that do not exist. Offering rebuttal to his ideas is like getting into a fight with a fantasy author about the system of magic he employs. There's no way to win, or even to offer meaningful commentary, because the words don't mean what you think they do, the ideas expressed are vague at best, and in the end it's all what he wants it to be anyway.
Which doesn't change the fact that he's still demonstrably wrong whenever he tries to go into details on any of the things he brings up. His math is wrong, his physics is wrong, his idea of the mind is wrong, and so on.
But until he gets back into that, there's nothing to do but sit back, make some popcorn, and watch him argue with the air.
since what light and photons are not the same thing?
