They're better at selling selfishness than we are at selling altruism. We're the science people. Annoying we still aren't singularly committed to understanding how cognition works.

#operantconditioning is the framework the GOP uses intuitively by using EMOTION to sell "facts" making up worldviews

A lifetime of simply cataloguing their sins has only left them feeling free to sin more. It's time to start relentlessly ignoring POWER in favor of rewarding COMPASSION.

Heroes self-advocate at great personal cost. Time to FLIP incentives.

All brains respond to #operantconditioning

principles of #operantconditioning say the most effective strategy is to catch them making pro-social progress and reward the crap out of them for it.

We could scale that if we thought about implementation hard enough

I look forward to the day #neurodivergent behavior is no longer stigmatized; when a neurodivergent human is free from cultural and societal blaming, framing, and shaming as being "bad", "inappropriate", and "wrong"; when entire industries are not targeting us for #operantconditioning & #torture.

It's another SYMPTOM of humans not understanding how their OWN BRAINS work.

#operantconditioning combined with altruism as a north star value = #enlightenment

That's how you keep yourself safe from being trained by money-go-up to NOT fall into increasingly SELFISH behavior

Please spread this around, you guys.
If you want the worst people in government to start acting even SLIGHTLY better, you have to recognize the GOOD behaviors they're throwing out WHEN they happen.

#operantconditioning
It doesn't mean you excuse their bad behaviors. It's just good strategy.
Seriously grateful to Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert for holding firm under the extreme pressure Trump was putting on them - and, absolutely, to MTG, who really made it politically possible for the other two to do what she was doing.
A newly released email from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files reveals that the deceased financier boasted about giving Russian government officials instructions on how to deal with President Donald Trump.

Moral taste is trainable.

If you understand how #operantconditioning works, you can resist effects of media designed to make you scared and stupid by cultivating BETTER moral taste - preferring equity, reality, and love OVER greed, fear, ignorance.

Be fully HUMAN. Train YOURSELF to LOVE bigger.

Good use of positive reinforcement!

#operantconditioning is the way

Now stand up to OUR feckless leadership and DEMAND better, faster, more creative DEFENSE of this nation and the PLANET.

Anxious AND aggressive brains BOTH respond positively to STRONG, ethical boundaries.

Science tells us WHY brains narrow into taking fearful shortcuts & HOW we can OPEN perspectives, but we're... stealing their future instead.

Kids, if money-go-up STAYS society's highest value, you're SCREWED. Do the WORK & help stop the collapse.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Trying to shove a spectrum-based concept into tidy definitional boxes is always going to bump against human intuition.

ADULTS can fall for grooming, too -- hell, the conservative movement GROOMED the American public to accept THIS current assault.

We GOTTA understand brains

that is correct. Cat brains aim to please the food-bringer and if you express delight over vocal mimicry, they will do it more. That's #operantconditioning -- all brains work on the same basic principles.

The only difference in human brains are the STORIES we tell about it all :)

Re-train selfish individuals by catching them doing pro-social behaviors and rewarding them -- that's #operantconditioning .. less villain origin stories that way

Conditioning - Traditional and operant are two types of ways people can be conditioned through actions to change their behavior for better or worse. #operantconditioning #traditionalconditioning #behavior #positive #negative

Nature abhors irresponsible gun handling. It's nice when she delivers her critiques in a timely manner rather than making us figure out what we did wrong the hard way.

Is there a limit to how many times you can watch ICE falling on ICE?

then we can shift the system to deliver more compassionate human society because we all have shared goals of global peace and sustainability instead of competing narrow-minded self-interests.

#operantconditioning changes brains. We train each other AND ourselves via stories and interactions

Under a system where the most harmful behavior gets the most rewards, people naturally develop a taste for increasingly harmful behavior.

That's just #operantconditioning

The human animal naturally prefers curiosity, emotional empathy, and loving life more than mindlessly consuming it.

Oh boy, James Cameron's Titanic really did a Pavlovian number on me because any time I hear "Nearer my God to thee" I am like a sleeper agent activated by a trigger word and back on that bloody boat all over again
