IMPORTANT REALITY: ANYTHING "BIG" regarding my theory and hypotheses IS up to YOU; I shall tell you why that is and why I shall be very largely of no further use
I want readers to know that I will not ever be in the position to test my theory's hypotheses (because I neither have, nor EVER will have, the necessary tools or facilities), __NOR__ AM I in the position to significantly further the view. [ The latter quite possibly being the much more important "reality". ] I shall try to explain why (and how I know this): Over the last three years I have presented the very-well-connected views I had when I was younger [(various parts of the system (of sub-views, if you like))], "triggered off" by the various contents of OTHERS' ESSAYS in the theory and research literature and here on RG. I literally just presented the various related views AS I RECALLED THEM (I once indicated in some essays that I was simply "channeling" my younger self -- and now I completely know that was really true and thus these "channeled" essays were/are better essays than ANY really NEW ones I could create now (coming from what WAS, and for others now IS, "my system")). I have suspected that regarding the entire system, which IS there -- in old papers and the 3-years of recent essays -- for you to see (fully conceptualize): I no longer can hold in-mind a full good conceptualization (with all the major ramifications) of this theory even though it is of my own. Let me present some MUCH-RELATED EVIDENCE (which some day you, yourself, will may well have to use in your self-assessment): THE evidence (and likely VERY GOOD EVIDENCE, IT IS, AS WELL): When I was younger, I could read any essay (by any other(s)) and seemingly (and likely) fully see the FULL view, and sets of connected views/concepts, of these other(s) and then compare and contrast them with that/those of my own "system". Well, I can no longer do the first part of this [( the "seemingly (and likely) fully see the view of another" part)] _and thus_ regarding my own theory as well, it very likely IS (and as it seems) that I cannot grasp "the whole" of it (the whole system) -- my own theory -- EITHER. IT IS LITERALLY TRUE AND COMPLETELY TRUE: In effect ALL THE WORK of ANY significant SORT evaluating the system (as well as testing the clear and testable hypotheses) IS LEFT TO YOU. If Ethogram Theory is good, it is up to YOU (somebody) TO ACT LIKE IT.
