Thank you for sharing Gregg. I am lost a bit here. Isn’t doing the pursuing of a goal, and isn’t “doping" a verb that we all understand? Also, considering that "goaling" often ends in failing, why try to sell that as doing? Doing is healthy and true despite success or failure. And isn’t it self-evident that all doing has a purpose, or a goal, even if it’s an impossible goal or poorly planned purpose?
I get further lost the more I read of the piece. Unless one is a radical behaviorist, isn’t it well accepted that behavior is an external and internal process, and not simply an externally observed event? I am naive here so is this an example of complicating the obvious, not improving communication?

I have gotten side tracked a bit from that, perhaps most notably being currently focused on The Digital Identity Problem and Its Solution. But, yesterday I saw this article on Psychology Today because it was one of the most popular and it reminded how obviously impaired we are when it comes to having a conceptual language system that is up to the task of defining our field’s key terms (i.e., behavior, mind, and (human/self) consciousness).
