Until this weekend, I knew

Not really, because it happened in private, where you couldn't have been expected to see it.
Max has left us, deleting all of his posts in the process. It seems that, knowing that deletion of threads is not permitted, he has edited all of his opening posts to render them meaningless.
Well that's disappointing at a rather large level. I valued Max.

That's extremely disappointing. And, if Max happens to see this, I hope he's well and keeps active at Thinking Deeper.
It does happen. Who knows what the reason was. It does look a bit petulant with no explanation. Maybe he realised all his ideas were wrong?

He said he might start posting more stuff there.

Look out for posts on his blog Thinking Deeper - he definitely wants to rethink some of what he's thought in the past but it is not that he thinks all [h]is ideas are wrong.
Rather, he's seen certain things linking together what seems to be going on in the advances of physics with structurual/mathematical similarity to what we find in biology.
Can someone post the link to Max's blog? Thanks
I can't imagine what reason he'd have to leave let alone delete all his stuff. What was the point of that?
There are too few outlets for ideas such as we discuss. Bad enough with guerrilla skeptics and trolls but where else can you find a free discussion of such phenomena? Skeptiko and sites such as Prescott or Kastrup basically take their lead from the site owner so not really open discussion.
I used to belong to a Meetup group discussing these subjects but I emigrated and, besides, the group was becoming overrun with conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and fake mediums.
So while I rarely agreed with Max, I appreciated his input which was honest and worthy of consideration. Maybe he will just take a break like I did.
