I don’t see how this discussion is going anywhere. The main points of @Jim’s arguments have been mentioned and summarized repeatedly, and here we are just met with both sides claiming that the other is just denying reality.
Jim, it looks like not many people are convinced by your arguments or even think there is an argument at all. Perhaps that’s because everyone here is secretly a logical positivist, as you have repeatedly accused, but another possibility is that your arguments aren’t substantial or expressed in a way that makes sense to people who are interested to talking about these things. In the last few posts, you have posted links to more “mainstream” philosophical resources such as SEP. My advice is to keep reading resources and articles like these, which may make you better able to express your opinions in a way that is understandable and relatable to other people.
