Not sure of this link works indiscriminate, universal; epub converted into pdf: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Or else Amazon: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] How colours work, perception, cultural meaning, how to create them etc., the history.

Yes yes, thank you! I already see a few I am very interested in. It's nice that some are in Audible formats so that when I have downtime or am driving I can listen to them.

As an antecedent, it seems to me that transhumanism attests as a furtherance of atrophy and nominal coping, as opposed to counter or corrective, mechanism to organismal involution, diffusing from a radix during a kairus within which superabundant sensory data stratifies and neuterizes the stimulus to preserve and overcome it. By this agency, every [artificial] upgrading of appearances of the organism is proportional to a downgrading of the capabilities/limitations of the organism. In other words, an underman playing dressup with an overman costum.

Only if you separate the organism from the machine.
The dichotomy is false; the machine [artifice] and the organism coalesce, become one.

That the organism does not, er, cannot, provide the precursor was my train of thought, and so sets the task toward a continuum of automation.
In retrospection of my previous post, there is no dyad or differentiation between coping and corrective/preservation/over measures: they're interchangeable.

Im not sure if requests are allowed here, but, if one wanted to read psychology books, good books, what would one read? Not just the author, since I suspect you might say "Jung" - I downloaded a book pack of him and there must be 30-40 books atleast and I have no idea where to start with him.
What psychologists , and their books, dead or alive, is recommended for a wholesome study of human behaviour?
Also, what is the field literally called? I know there are different kinds to study - I mean the human one, insights into human behaviour.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out!

You have the world and society as specimens at your disposal for examing psychodymanics and an endless compendium of literary and comparative compositions which effectively foreshadow psychology.
I guess you're more after field terminology and concepts?

I want to know more b/c I want to expand on the knowledge the MANifesto gives me, and I want to study "human behaviour" on my own. Im just not familiar enough with "the how" to do it on my own, using real world. Satyr does mention an impressive (huge) number of authors who have influenced his writings, but I dont know which are good psychologists and, more importantly, what books of them are useful. It was something like that that I was in want of.

Your english is usually way to complicated for a non-native speaker like me, I usually just scroll past your posts (no offence).
If you remember the guy Magnus Andersson that used to post here ,or have read the first 300 pages of the MANifesto(that what I have read), you might know what Im looking for. Whatever Magnus Andersson had studied sound interesting - just to understand what he was talking about. It sounded advanced, atleast.
And for the MANifesto I would like to know where Satyr has gotten some/most of his 'training'/knowledge for understanding the mind of man. I suspect Nietzsche or Shoepenhaur might influence him more then others - but my mind cant make much sense of those two and I require something more clear/concise/concentrated to be able to learn.
Most of my attempts to google psychology books put a book called "thinking fast and slow" at the top of what one should read. I did that. And it was not what I wanted. I want to know of the human as an organism/mind, not just number games etc.
I hope I made my self understood. Thanks.
I feel I have derailed this thread enough that I must provide something.
I found the book "The mating mind" by Geoffrey Miller very enlightning (didnt read all of it very attentively) since it highlighted that evolution might not be what we commonly think it is. Its about evolution as a 'sexual selection' evolution - as opposed to a language evolution, or "survival of the fittest" evolution. It was good for someone like me who knows nothing about evolution.

Stirner’s non-aristotelian formulations on the nature of self-motivation take on a fresh significance at a time when Harvard University has just announced an ‘anti-hate’ research center, to be headed by Pitirim A. Sorokin. The purpose of thisresearch is to increase the production of ‘love’ and to decrease the production of ‘hate’ in the world. The center will study the ‘great altruists of history . . . to find out how these altruists succeeded in becoming altruistic.’ And it will study ‘the most efficient techniques of transmutation of selfishness into unselfishness.’ The archaic assumptions present in such a program represent an emphasis, as Stirner’s viewpoint suggests, which might prove fatal to accomplishing the improvements in human relations which are the research center’s avowed purpose.
To presume an elementalistic ‘love-hate’ dichotomy is to perpetuate the misevaluations usually lumped together under each term in it. Stirner’s insights offer an effective antidote to such primitive misevaluations.
