For what's it's worth, I found Jerome Clark to be quite defensive about his positions, and when I hear that, it sometimes indicates those positions may be indefensible. To assert that there is some plane of existence between objectivity (i.e., material reality) and subjectivity (i.e., internal, mental reality) without providing solid proof is specious. Why not postulate there are n-levels of reality between the two extremes? Why stop at only one? To reiterate, this sounded a lot like "proof by continual assertion," and I didn't think it advance the conversation much.
