Speaking with people that already hold my same philosophical positions
seems to make much more sense than having random strangers critique my
ideas.

So, you admit to wanting just "yes men"? That would be because your

ideas don't actually hold water.
Your problem is that your logic is just fatally flawed, and you can't
stand that being pointed out.
If the only people you want to talk about are people that will agree
with you without actually looking at your work, you are just admitting
that your ideas don't work.
Go ahead, listen to just the yes men, and let them pull you into your
fantasy world of make beleive and falsehood.
That seems to be the world you have chosen to live in, and will seal
your eternal fate.
I will note, that puts you in exactly the same class of people as you
claim you are trying to debunk.

It is impossible that we are wrong because our mutual position is
entirely anchored in: *semantic tautology / self-evident truth*
*A semantic tautology*
tautology, in logic, a statement so framed that it cannot be denied
without inconsistency. Thus, “All humans are mammals” is held to assert
with regard to anything whatsoever that either it is not a human or it
is a mammal. But that universal “truth” follows not from any facts noted
about real humans but only from the actual use of human and mammal and
is *thus purely a matter of definition*.

*A self-evident truth*
In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident proposition is a
proposition that is known to be true by understanding its meaning
without proof... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-evidence
