Message of "mission critical" being put out to some "think-tanks"
Message of "mission critical" being put out to some "think-tanks" Below is a message I am sending to some "think tanks". [ ALSO NOTE the P.S., so you DO NOT FORGET THE EDITOR/CO-AUTHOR offer. ] Now: Mission Critical My main life's work (referred to below) is "done" (and has been for almost a year). Nothing major will change; it is time for its fair close evaluation (and appreciation) NOW. I do not think you should loose sight of this strict empirical view and approach to behavior [patterns] ; it is well-founded, well-ground, explicit, and ALL concepts have a notable CLEAR CONCRETE relationship to DIRECTLY OBSERVABLE KEY OVERT BEHAVIOR PATTERNS (at least at the INCEPTION of all major new ways of thinking (each qualitatively different, but hierarchical)) This is a BIOLOGY OF BEHAVIOR per se (of "just behavior"). It gives a wholly biological view and perspective on what is (what MUST BE) an aspect of biological functioning: behavior patterns. THIS IS THE ONLY THEORY AND APPROACH THAT DOES THIS; and, in the end, by the time you get to and read the addenda, provides a clear a set of testable (verifiable/falsifiable) hypotheses as possible, without further discoveries (LIKELY DISCOVERIES). Here is the main guidance you need: READ: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286920820_A_Human_Ethogram_Its_Scientific_Acceptability_and_Importance_now_NEW_because_new_technology_allows_investigation_of_the_hypotheses_an_early_MUST_READ and https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329428629_Essentially_all_Recent_Essays_on_Ethogram_Theory (basically a BOOK) and https://www.researchgate.net/project/Human-Ethology-and-Development-Ethogram-Theory (see the Project Log of this Project to see many important Updates.) ALSO, not among the 200 pages of major papers and 512 pages of essays in my "BOOK", above (which you already have been directed to), the following link gets you to 100 more pages of worthwhile essays composed after the 512 pages: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331907621_paradigmShiftFinalpdf (you CAN find the pdf at this last link, though it may take a little careful looking). And, similarly, see the other 2 addenda. Ignoring this view (A NEEDED AND UNIQUE VIEW and OF empiricism and of science) would science negligence -- something you do not want to be a part of. AT THE SAME TIME, it is as much philosophy (of science, psychology) AS ANYTHING (so, thus, since philosophy is your central interest my work should [still] be a major interest of yours). P.S. Editor/Co-author of my Collected Writings (on behavioral science) Needed Here is the formal write-up of the offer for an Editor/co-Author, plus with guiding links to the papers/book/essays : (share with anyone appropriate and interested) : Editor/Co-author of my Collected Essays (on behavioral science) Needed I have approximately 900 pages of writings on new, more-empirical (actually: strictly empirical) perspectives on Psychology (esp. Developmental Psychology and General Psychology ) -- but relevant and important for Psychology in general . It is all about BEHAVIOR PATTERNS and a real science (natural science) of that patterning, and a patterning of those patterns, etc., AND, behaviorally speaking, THAT IS ALL -- i.e. outlining the possible discoveries necessary for a true and most-empirical behavioral science of BEHAVIOR PATTERNS ("just behaviors") PER SE; it is much related to classical ethology perspectives and research. There is also an expressed greater hope for some new technologies being the "microscope" of Psychology (in particular: eye tracking and computer-assisted analysis) for good/closer/better observations; there are both phenomenologies outlined, describing the quite-possible situations THAT COULD COME TO BE OBSERVED and the associated behavior patterns, etc. [(always beginning (minimally, at their inception) in the overt, directly observable)] therein more truly seen and fully discovered; AND, some detailed phenomenology is described that arrives at testable hypotheses and then involves the actual ability to to test these testable/falsifiable hypotheses. I am looking for a skilled reader and editor to read/edit my written works AND THEN put them together in a most sensible manner. This person must know the field of Psychology as a whole and must understand possibilities of ontogeny. Also she/he should have a healthy respect and high regard for KEY foundational OBSERVATIONS (always such AS CENTRAL). Anyone "fitting this bill" AND WILLING, and otherwise ABLE, I would gladly have. Doing such substantial editing/proof-reading/rearranging/publishing is enough for me to see that person as a FULL co-author and therefore I would put she/he as second author on all the book's covers. After publication, he/she (as we shall decide well ahead of time) shall have a portion of any money reaped. …
