So the ancient Greeks said that what a thing is and what a thing
does is not the same thing; I think I could have figured out that by
myself without their help.
No, the ancient greeks, the hindus, and many mystics knows, like
Einstein and Newton, that what a things is and what a thing does: is
basically the same things. That follows from determinacy.
What the ancient greeks and the hindus, and many mystics were aware
of, was the difference between what the thing is and what the thing
feels to be.

If it doesn't annoy any of those groups then it's got to be
philosophical pablum because a important truth will certainly annoy
a great many people.
No. It means that a majority can agree on some axiom, and we can
proceed.
The theories tries to be simple deep "triviality", like RA, PA, the
combinators, and the QM empirical jewel, but which asks more questions.
Most religion accept that God has some relation with Truth, and as
such that make already most religion coherent with a part of
platonism, and the belief that there is *some* reality independent of
you.
