When the OP asked his question he did not know of my existence, so I have no idea what you're saying here.

I'm sure he did because you're quoted in the op from stranges other thread.

Maybe it's too big a topic for a forum. It shows the way philosophy is neglected in our society that what I said above is not already well understood. There's nothing new in it.

there's nothing really meaningful either.

you made the assertion that metaphysical theories are logically indefensible without clear reasoning as to why you accept this. you essentially have a rhetorical tautology rather than a real argument. i hope it really didn't take ten years to reach this conclusion.

how does this answer questions pertaining to metaphysics? it seems to outright ignore them.

i've always viewed philosophy as a progenitor of inclination towards something, or to produce a new way of looking at a problem. without philosophy progress seems bleak and misguided. i don't know of any direct impact philosophy has had on solution of problems not that there aren't any examples.
