If asking for clarity and precision in meaning is an ascention to the pulpit of dogma then bullshit and lies reign supreme. Mr. Rats, What you are proposing is Analytical philosophy and this forum is dedicated to a form of continental philosophy in the tradion of what is known as Pragmatism. The difficulty you face is that you are not really in the company of your peers in this group, of course you can have fun exploring any wild speculations and there are those here who will entertain anything and everything in that regard but keep in mind there are going to be those who want to keep the conversations on topic and within the context of the forum. Calling them Dogmatic priests of a flatland mentality is just plainly missing the context of the situation. Philosophers you may want to explore: Bertram Russel, Wittgenstein, Gottlob frege you might want to search out forums that dedicate themselves to Analytic Philosophy for a more satisfactory response. -Ron ..
