I could start a new topic, but I want to try to bridge the gap between 3 diverse (was 4 but I think Mike became very busy with other things) perspectives and a possible common goal.
The subject of intensity was added to the work done by Josiah Warren in his Equitable Commerce experiments and that addition was supplied by both Josiah Warren and Steven Pearl Andrews, as critical review was focused, intensely upon that work. The critique concerned relative estimates of value negotiated between people who share value, factoring in time, and factoring in repugnance, and so the addition was to factor into the concept an additional qualification: that being intensity.
I connected the concepts (or perspectives) of NEED, WANT, WORK, and PLAY, into the concepts of WILLFUL INTENSITY and PASSIVE OBEDIENCE.
So the bridge here is to say that I really think it is a desire of mine to read the exchanges between Sergey and bear, which I do intensely, as a form of play, since the concept of want overpowers the concept of need, even if I really do, desperately, need to know which parts of Sergey's perspective are necessary for me, and which pars of bear's perspective are necessary for me, as my want of knowing better overpowers my need to know better in this case.
As for the apparent claim that I require quick and easy ways to learn things, otherwise I won't learn things, as if it is not worth the trouble to gain knowledge, as far as I am concerned, well, that may be true, relatively speaking, but at least I know that perception exists; with our without qualification.
Otherwise you can ignore what I say for the lack of 'easily demonstrable' 'facts'.
I can do many things. Today, for example, the want of expressing my soul through music is powerful. I may get the opportunity to pick up my guitar and turn up the volume.
