To approach a question of meaning or politics scientifically in the way you describe is to assume that you know the answers from the start. What if your methodology is inherently flawed, and particularly in such a way as to be blind to the very ways in which it is flawed?
If a method is inherently flawed understanding the method and the reasoning for it’s use important for making a good argument that it’s flawed. If you take physics, there are plenty of people who don’t understand special relativity and you want to argue that it’s flawed. Engaging with those people is not useful for physicists. To the extend that there are flaws in physical theories it takes a lot of understanding of existing physics to make an argument that’s actually useful to bring forward the field of physics.
In philosophy actually understanding the position of the people you want to convince matters as well.
By that same token, this entire forum should understand my position rather than me its. Except I don’t ask anyone to read things to have a conversation with me, I can make my arguments in real time because they’re real arguments and not false ones that get lost in such obfuscating requests.
Also, please note you’re comparing the way you have conversations to physics. That is rather ludicrous to say the least.
Your philosophy is not that complex. You don’t know how to have conversations. That is transparent from the very fact that you refuse to have them. You are the ones that need to have conversations with people and study them, and yet you reject them, treating access to you like some sort of privilege. This is completely opposite from what you should be doing as people who are incredibly worried about the future and need the rest of the world’s help in that regard, which I assume most of you are, but you have been corrupted by your own ridiculous and arbitrary rules to have turned out to be actively alienating the world instead, even when it comes at your doorstep(you do the same to it elsewhere).
Do consider that you are not as a whole as smart as you think and assume some of Socrates’ simplicity in that respect.

Why would anyone care about your position? You seem to care about the position of people in this forum given that you are here. If you don’t care, go somewhere else. Write your own blog.
The point of a forum is to facilitate a shared discourse. If you want to join that discourse the forum is there. If you want to start your own discourse, you are free to set up your own forum or blog.
Your philosophy is not that complex.
It takes less work to familiarize yourself with the philosophic positions of this forum than it takes to develop the physics knowledge necessary to engage in academic physics.
The fact that this needs less work is no good argument for the work not needing to be done.
