I am sometimes attacked for imposing 'rules'. Nothing could be further from the truth. I hate rules. All I do is report on how consumers react to different stimuli. I may say to a copywriter, “Research shows that commercials with celebrities are below average in persuading people to buy products. Are you sure you want to use a celebrity?” Call that a rule? Or I may say to an art director, “Research suggests that if you set the copy in black type on a white background, more people will read it than if you set it in white type on a black background.”
which ones correct?
- they can give it to you and me
- they can give it to you and I

Since categories and theories are invented to describe the world, the logical connections between our categories should have a structure that is similar to the organic systems that we find in the world. There are important differences between systems of categories and systems of real objects, however. The main difference is that categories don't cause other categories to change. Human activities–including human thought--are constantly making categories and concepts change, but categories don't change things, even other categories. This is a part of the materialist point of view. People use categories to help describe and understand the world. Guided by theories that contain categories, people change the world.
