No, you do not get to publicly demand an in-depth discussion of the philosophy of induction from a specific, small group of people. You can raise the topic in a place where you know they hang out and gesture in their direction. But what you're doing here is trying to create a social obligation to read ten thousand words of your writing. With your trademark in capital letters in every other sentence. And to write a few thousand words in response. From my outside perspective, engaging in this way looks like it would be a massive unproductive time sink.
It's worse than that. I tried to have a discussion of the philosophy of induction with him (over on the slack). He took exception to some details of how I was conducting myself, essentially because I wasn't following his "Paths Forward" methodology, and from that point on he wasn't interested in discussing the philosophy of induction.
So in effect he's publicly demanding an in-depth discussion of the philosophy of induction according to whatever idiosyncratic standards of debate he decides to set up from a specific small group of people.
