I feel like Elizer needs to realize that the ground level he’s talking about is in fact still just another model of reality. He’s talking about how physics “really works” when what he’s talking about isn’t maps and territories.
The fact is we don’t know the ground level of reality, we just have a model based on evidence so far. Also contrary to what he wants to be true physics does recognize “levels” to reality, because what applies at the quantum level doesn’t necessarily always translate to the macroscopic level.
You cannot understand psychology by studying quarks nor emergence either. Reductionism doesn’t really explain everything to reality because at certain points aspects of reality take on properties independent of it’s parts.
But then you’d need a degree to understand all that.
