This is 'woo' worthy. Seriously. Nobody has or had had a feeling of being pulled towards the center of the Earth. Despite Newton's brilliance, we still don't have the 'subjective' feeling you give as cause to his insight. Despite what's actually going on (thanks to Newton and Einstein), my subjective 'feeling' towards the center of the Earth hasn't changed since my earliest memory.
The biggest problem with your theory is the attempt to disassociate ethics with action. The only motivation I can dream of is a desire to create thought crime.
I lied. The actual biggest problem with your theory is your inability to communicate. Someone that wants feedback and conversation doesn't sequester themselves behind philosophically technical terms.
Did I piss in your cornflakes? Borrow your car and return it with no gas?
I'd try to address your points, but it looks like you've completely nuked any sense of good will, a strategy better suited to exclusion than persuasion. Which is, of course, your prerogative; I have no illusion that have any right to be here. Given your status, I will take the hint and depart.
