ABOUT - by burrhus frederic skinner:
“society:
if you insist that individual rights are the summum bonum, then the whole structure of society falls down.
the mob rushes in where individuals fear to tread.
the only geniuses produced by the chaos of society are those who do something about it. chaos breeds geniuses. it offers a man something to be a genius about.
technology:
the real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. the mystery which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.
ownership:
some of us learn control, more or less by accident. the rest of us go all our lives not even understanding how it is possible, and blaming our failure on being born the wrong way.
love:
we are only just beginning to understand the power of love because we are just beginning to understand the weakness of force and aggression.
in sum:
properly used, positive reinforcement is extremely powerful.
we have not yet seen what man can make of man.
and...about digby:
the feeling of being interested can act as a kind of neurological signal, directing us to fruitful areas of inquiry.
so, to end quoting buckminster fuller:
“you never change things by fighting the existing reality. to change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
thanks for your attention.”
