thanks. I mean, it's a great read - I'm just always on the lookout for either a BS factor or at least a glossed-over factor. If the person represents the uncontrolled subconscious, and his theory is the explanation for the uncontrolled subconscious, then that means his theory is the replacement for the subconscious, at least in a 'meta" way. This is something that's true for any theories of the mind, but this one even more so because, in the process, he is attempting to eliminate control of consciousness altogether. This.. puts his theory in control of all humanity's conscious thoughts, in a sense, making him the final person (or team) with a controlled consciousness - to have been able to come up with this theory in the first place. [that is, if this theory became defacto standard, rather than a nice speculative read with some interesting ideas and some interesting evidence behind it] It's a dramatic THEREFORE THUS. [Thus, conscience control is REALLY [x]). - so that engages my analyzer. If someone's going to take away my sense of freedom of choice - whatever its reality/unreality is, I'm going to give it my best to see if it's valid/invalid/solid/has holes/etc.
