To defend the subjectivity towards 2000

When we look at the 2000 years that we have in our past and when we are looking at the third millenium, we can notice two lingering epidemies and ordeal, which the human, subjective and psychical concsious went through. Euclid's geometrical corcet and physical objective time shackles were foistened to the psychics and to the subjectivity. Three-dimensional coordinate system and watch, which can measure the same time segments very exactly - that is two very useful and nacessary tools. Wothout them we had not have got WWW perhaps. What was the price, which the mankind has paid for these tools? With watch and three-dimensional coordinate system, the human subjectivity has got self-loss syndromes. The syndromes of the subjectivity deficiency. Objectivity is ascribed to the subjective time.

What would be the price of all these objective times, which measure the subjective time if there were no human being? It's only a human being in the whole Universum, who can appraise that. "A human being as the measure of all things".Only he can also value the tools that were invented for time measuring and the systems for orientation in the space (one of such systems is, for instance, three-dimentional coordinate system, whichhas proved to be not bad since 2000 years).

The main part of the human life passes in the dostorted three-dimensional world with the sounds of the physical time shackles. One of the main examples for the reflection of this objective subjective world in the psychological science is three-dimensional value-model as well as three-dimensional scheme of values measuring model after Charles Osgood's method.

A pale reflectuion of the many-dimensional subjective world we can find in the meny-factor analisis.

However, no one could tighten the subjectivity and the human psychics into the three-dimensional world of Decart and into the physical time. The subjective world has its own coordinate-systems for orientation within itself and in the world.

We can co-measure and compare the things, which seem to be not objectively co-measured and compared, and can predict the events without chronometers, and we do it successfully.

Despite of two deep deformations, two bad wounds, which the subjective world hasbecome (that are three-dimensional immmovable coordinate-system and even time scale), this subjective world keeps its original nature and stays in its essence many-dimensional and many-temporal.
