What if the limits of attention are not a handicap but the very structure that makes meaning, creativity, and character possible? We pull on that thread and follow it from the mechanics of concept formation to the deep role of the subconscious as your energy-saving, integration-carrying partner. We start with the bottleneck: awareness has scope. Because you can’t hold everything at once, you compress experience into concepts that travel light yet stay precise. Then we move to the subconsciou...

Replicating Meaning: How Volition Makes Psychology A Science
What if freedom isn’t randomness but the power to replicate meaning on purpose? We explore a bold thesis: consciousness is measured integration, and volition is the causal engine that lets us reproduce not the same behaviors, but the same form of understanding across changing contexts. That shift reframes what counts as scientific in psychology—from chasing uniform stimuli to tracing the lawful patterns that link attention, values, and identity. We walk through a clear bridge between physics...
