I have. A few times:

These two together are about the detailed mechanics of motivation formation:

These two are slightly higher level, but the same topic:

It seems that writing it straight means that people don't understand the consequences of the ideas, or simply don't accept them. Few people have responded to those posts.

Imagine if I said "a tension is elicited by a set of inputs in sequence, that were learned to elicit it at a previous time, though it can be preemptively negated by a tension negator which is another sequence of inputs. The tension is learned when a parent, lower level tension is elicited twice in rapid succession without any solution (removal of the tension, or negation of it) presenting itself in between, and a tension negation is learned when the parent tension is itself negated subsequent to the child tension being elicited..." etc. people wouldn't understand what any of that meant.

I think the problem is that most people don't even understand how their own minds work, much less be given a mechanism that explains all minds on a detailed level. If I gave a chemical formula for an iodization reaction to someone who didn't believe that matter was made up of atoms, they wouldn't know what to do with it. Most people's notion of how their minds work is the greatest impediment to them actually learning how the mind works.
