Contradiction can be good (unlike contraindication)

Just to contradict Later the same day..., I'm now thinking about reinstating the subjective and objective states, and the chapter on Psychology, but the latter, at least, in very different form (probably the former too).

The reason being that we do need some basis in psychology for objectivity and inter/subjectivity, saying, as we are, that these need to be considered modes of human operation. So Psychology is no longer about the implications for that discipline of my findings, but vice versa, support for my findings from psychology. As such, the section on states fits nicely in there—or will do once thoroughly re-written—as does Empathy, and probably the developmental stuff currently sited within Conscious and Unconscious Minds, too. So Subjective and Objective is about the philosophy of it, and Psych, the psych of it. Well, S&O was beginning to seem a bit unwieldy anyway.

I'm now thinking about going public with this, in order to build up some interest generally, and some website traffic specifically (see My Links, on the right). The reason I didn't do so from the start was, of course, because I'm worried about people stealing my ideas. I don't think there's an easy answer to that dilemma, but the better I feel about progress on the book, the happier I am to publicise the ideas, on the assumption I can capitalise on them before anyone who gets them from me. Also, of course, there's the fact that big names, though they can get into publication more easily than me, are not generally trawling the web for ideas, while little people like myself will have the same difficulties as I do. Which means that I should be OK as long as I keep my nose to the grindstone. Well, I'm not going to do it immediately, anyway. I'll give it until tomorrow morning at least, and ponder it some more meanwhile.
