ama, if you're reading this: Although I have chosen to engage with what you write rather than dismissing it, I entirely agree with ciphergoth that you appear to be either unready for LW or out of sympathy with its goals.

Of course, it's possible that actually you're way ahead of us, and that what looks like word salad to us (at least, to me and Vladimir Nesov, and I'm guessing to others too) really is the Expression of Deep Truth that I think you think it is. In which case, you would do well to make the effort to make what you say comprehensible and explicit.

(If you are not interested in clarity and comprehensibility, then it is unlikely that you will be of much help to us, no matter how excellent your thoughts may be.)
