See LAST Update for what is really Important ...

See LAST Update for what is really Important. Really. [ I tried to edit the last Update, that was in the &quot;spot&quot; the present Update is in. In editing it, 'they' gave a Version 2 to it, as well as a Version 1 and put up the Version 2 as the one first visible. I didn't like that because a couple of Comments got &quot;buried&quot; (since they under Version 1). I thus attempted to delete the Version 2, but that resulted in the entire Update being thrown out. ] Thus, I will try to recreate that UPDATE, now: THAT UPDATE (of earlier today) basically said that I am now presenting my Ethogram Theory to artificial intelligence people, because: (1) Psychology is hopelessly mired in bad theory and corresponding bad research because of groundless, baseless, and likely false &quot;assumptions&quot; (which are actually just beliefs). I offer a set of more likely correct, and more biologically-congruent, assumptions with my perspective. Psychology's false assumptions do not even let them consider certain empirical points of view; really, this is what false pseudo-'assumptions' can do: make it impossible to even consider (much less evaluate) certain types of totally EMPIRICAL approaches (like mine) -- even though my approach is BASED ON DIRECTLY OBSERVABLE CONCRETE PROXIMATE CAUSES which their prevalent theories CANNOT BE (e.g. they have, and will only EVER have, VERY indirect evidence for theories such as the &quot;embodiment&quot; theories -- because they must strain credulity for the sake of their basically false beliefs). (2) Artificial Intelligence people, with their practical concerns, may well like my thoroughly and strictly empirical approach -- because they are practical people with practical concerns. A post (Answer) where I am trying to help AI people with my perspective can be found as my last answer (of today) UNDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION : https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_are_or_going_to_be_the_main_differences_between_AI_and_Human_Intelligence
