Yeah, you’re right he is talking about conscious vs. unconscious.  I realized that after I posted the message but then became real busy at work.  I’ve done some looking into how to differentiate between conscious, subconscious and unconscious and I found this.  It seems helpful.  It also talks about some cool, fairly recent research.

It’s fine if we didn’t get through Chapter One.  Do you want to bump back the date for up to Chapter Two, say two Sundays from now?  I’ll be at porcfest that weekend but I could post something Sunday night as soon as I get back.  Also if you want to take turns doing the summary, that’s cool with me.  If you want me to do them all that’s fine too.

I think he makes the division pretty clear with this quote:

Conscious or purposeful behavior is in sharp contrast to unconscious behavior, i.e., the reflexes and the involuntary responses of the body’s cells and nerves to stimuli. People are sometimes prepared to believe that the boundaries between conscious behavior and the involuntary reaction of the forces operating within man’s body are more or less indefinite. This is correct only as far as it is sometimes not easy to establish whether concrete behavior is to be considered voluntary or involuntary. But the distinction between consciousness and unconsciousness is nonetheless sharp and can be clearly determined.

Granted it’s right before the part that you referenced, but I think he makes the point and then goes on to explain that he’s not too concerned with the factors that impel people.

As far as neuroscience, there have been recent advances.  You and I tend to butt heads a lot on the distinction between voluntary and involuntary action.  I have a feeling I’m going to butt heads with Mises on it too.  We’ll see.

As far as bile 2.0, I don’t think that’s nearly enough of a version jump.  How about bile 11.1, bile X or bile Kappa.  I agree with you on the categories and tags thing.  I’m always scared to make new tags because I think they will get out of hand.  For my library I originally didn’t use tags and I’m just starting to get into fiction and non-fiction tags.

Good point about the non-judgment thing.  I also really liked that.

So with tags and categories… I’m likely going to move most of the categories to tags. If it’s easy to do anyway. Ideally we’ll have just a few categories and lots of tags. Not lots of categories.
