X is really hard to express (in general, or for you in particular) and on these occasions you have not been successful. So, while the other people could have understood X, they haven’t yet had it explained clearly enough.
This is pretty much it, although I’m frustrated at the sheer lack of engagement.
I think you are simply incorrect to say that no one who disagreed with you in the Dust Theory thread actually understands Dust Theory.
I didn’t say that, I said that no one understood my specific argument and that a few just didn’t understand Dust Theory.
I’m pretty sure I understand your specific argument regarding dust theory. I’m also pretty sure that the reason I’m not upset is because I require observables to actually care about things like that. You’re worried about an idea/argument that has no backing evidence, makes no observable predictions, and is unfalsifiable—no matter how horrible it sounds, it isn’t sane to fret over that sort of thing.
Also, I would encourage you to spend some time on the concept of identity for yourself. Even if your idea/argument did have backing evidence, it wouldn’t be horrible to me because I allow distributed identity.
From an outside view, I wouldn’t take the time to offer my advice on this thread—I would feel that my advice would simply be shot down with the first objection that pops into your head.
When I make a thread like this asking for help, the first thing I do is set a time to try out the best piece of advice I get, even if I think that all the advice is awful. Not only does it encourage people to help me in the future, but just maybe I’ll find out through experimentation that my untested assumptions were wrong.

I haven’t seen you change your mind once in this entire thread.
I’m sorry, I’ve tried to be as open as possible to different forms of help.
