"Almost all our major problems involve human behavior, and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior." B.F. Skinner (1971) (Rutherford, 2017)  Dogma - is the enemy. And the more I learn about B.F. Skinner and John B. Watson - and the institutions which bought (hook line and sinker) their version of social control - the more I realize Dogma is an institution that is groomed, managed, maintained and ordered - by folks who never actually follow said doctrine, said dogma. From the murder of innocent children, to the general inability of the poor to lead healthy happy lives, our society has been built upon ideas and ideals - which do not represent the whole, but instead prop up just a few. What we are witnessing today is just a taste of what the tyrant has to offer. Poisoned water, poisoned food, the runaway operant conditioning of our youth and old people (thanks to Victoria's secret, GTA, and FOX News), are just the byproducts of a society in the end stages of full-on-brain-rot. Much like we see with those who drink excessively, the inability to think, to relate, to comprehend at a level beyond a 3rd grade child - is rare these days in those who consume modern media. Is it a wonder then that they (the marking/media firms who control our world) continue to push alcohol by any means necessary? Is it a wonder they continue to push elitism to anyone who would bite? The reason vacuous men (such as THE BOYS actor, Jensen Ackles) have fed society nothing but violence, mush media, AND alcohol - is because it pays extremely well. And every other so-called A-list-actor, from Brad Pitt to Keanu Reeves, offers nothing but the same. Watson (1878 - 1858) "In his 1913 article, he had stated the goal of psychology as the prediction and control of behavior..." (Henley, 2024, p.280) “Watson used product endorsements from celebrities to build associations in a way analogous to Pavlovian conditioning.” (Henley, 2024, p.280) "Resor hired Watson in 1921 at a salary of $10,000 a year. By 1924, Watson was one of the leading people in advertising and became a vice president of the J. Walter Thompson Company. Titchener wrote and congratulated him but worried that the promotion would give Watson less time to work on psychology. By 1928, Watson earned over $50,000 a year and by 1930 over $70,000. Adjusting for inflation, that would be an annual salary of roughly a million dollars today." (Henley, 2024, p.280) “For Watson experience, and not inheritance, makes people what they are. Change experience, and you change personality.” (Henley, 2024, p.282) Resources: Henley, T. B. (2024). Hergenhahn’s An Introduction to the History of Psychology (9th ed.). Cengage Learning.

albert einstein is mine his theory's even as a kid would so get my mind racing as a kid the multi verse he came up with, to his ideas of warp drive how it needed to be a bubble that would help light speed go around it and inside it would be still so no g forces on a person's body, then the time travel would be impossible because time happens all at once would make me have great dreams and day dreams to know that things are possible with the right thinking Leave a Reply. |
