cranes/skyhooks/objectivity/subjectivity

That's a paper I'll look forward to. I too was struck in our thursday discussion by the objectivity/subjectivity crane/skyhook issue, particularly because I would bet that Dennett would draw parallels the other way: that objectivity is cranes and subjectivity skyooks. I hadn't thought about the crane/skyhook parallel before, but have had some thoughts on the objectivity/subjectivity matter that fit your story/might be useful in further developing it. See "The 'objectivity'/'subjectivity' spectrum: having one's cake and eating it too."
