Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat: family, or territory?
When I read, albeit slowly, I am not just reading what is being said but gravitate to the motivation or experiences that cause the writer to take their point of view. I look to see the motivation of comunication as being psychologicaly influenced or some other factor be it manipulation or academic straight forward transfer of information. I then judge what and why it is this being said. This is closer to PFR's notion of looking for bias and why it might exist. I do not however knee jerk into automatically critisizing because I know I have existing bias experiences as well.

When I write, even more slowly, I try to say what I mean despite a playful proclivity to use words and form imo creatively.

Maybe my dyslexic mind is more subjective than average or maybe not, I don't know others reality. My objective-centric wife gave up on the notion of dyslexia and calls it learning disability, to my dismay.

I recognize the mind has the subjective side and objective side and people may have different dominance of which brain they use. The luckiest probably have equal dominance. I suspect the objectivists are the scrappiest.
