If all of this was wrong, if there were no Forms other than in our minds and there was no convergence onto a central superoptimizer—would you say our universe was impossible? What difference in experience that we could perceive today disproves your view?
To a large extent my comment was a trap: I deliberately made the majority of my claims purely metaphysical so that when someone came along and said “you’re wrong!” I could justifiably claim “I didn’t even make any factual claims”. You’ve managed to avoid my trap.
One question.
