(I'm going to break protocol in order to place a data point.)
PJEby, I can't improve my understanding of things by reading your writings. You assert much without connecting with other people's constructions, and performing translation is difficult. This creates additional annoyance for me, because it's difficult to respond either, more so to dispute. And the more you write, the harder it becomes.
I can't give feedback through rating either, because I don't see your writing rewarding enough to try to understand what you say in your own language, and not understanding what you wrote makes it hard to decide whether a particular comment of yours was valuable.
I offer another data point. Right now I'm struggling mightily with procrastination, and pjeby's post of 26 April 2009 04:38:27PM is perfectly comprehensible to me because it closely mirrors my internal experience of the difference between preference and motivation. I've also had the experience of believing that my preference should motivate me, and creating elaborate explanations for why it doesn't.
I wonder if you have to feel like your mind's in dysfunction before the things pjeby writes seem plausible -- that is, maybe the inferential distance is too far for a properly working mind.
