The author is Eric Chen, from Singapore, with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, and he wrote a book about his own journey of self-improvement. Who else should you listen to, and offer a modicum of trust that they understand the subject, if not someone like him?
I won’t quote anything he said here, but if you had a hard time following it, you should try going over some of it again.
But if you’re happy with your present concepts – your present “theory of mind”- and are convinced you have nothing to learn from this man’s experiences, then leave it be.

I disagree with your assessment that my research has not produced useful results. That you say that makes it clear that you haven’t read or understood enough of it to make that assessment. It certainly has improved my health, and I consider that to be useful. It has opened up useful avenues of research that had been previously ignored. Perhaps ethical considerations have slowed my progress, but not following an ethical process is not something I will do.

What has slowed it the most is people not thinking clearly, rigorously and logically. There is a lot of wrong stuff in the literature, ideas that have become accepted not because of facts and logic but because they seem intuitive even though they are wrong. People anthropomorphize reality because they can only think about reality in anthropomorphic terms. Often correct descriptions of reality do not correspond to anthropomorphic metaphors, but people have a great deal of difficulty in thinking beyond those anthropomorphic terms.

I think the latching onto a poor but anthropomorphic representation of reality is due to the limitations that some people have in thinking. They use anthropomorphic representations by their “theory of mind” (to use a term I discuss in my blog) rather than more precise representations because there are plenty of neural structures to do anthropomorphic-type thinking. That is how humans communicate. Anthropomorphic thinking comes very naturally and very easily, even when it is wrong.

One of the major wrong ideas that is slowing progress is the wrong idea of homeostasis. I have a write-up of that. Explaining how homeostasis is a wrong idea is a useful result of my research.

I am proceeding as fast as I can given the constraints I have to work under, the resources I have available and my abilities. It does cause me considerable angst that people don’t have the opportunity to improve their health by raising their NO levels by using my technique. I am doing everything within my power to try and make that happen which assuages my guilt at not being successful yet.

And yet off you go on some rant about top down hierarchy which has little or nothing to do with the question at hand. Would that it did and the situation might have been different.
