Behavioral Determinism

It’s something I have had a problem with.

Being controlled.

BF Skinner found that schizophrenia patients responded aggressively to conditioning

Anytime there are rules disagreement and agreement are held up as punishment and reward

Punishment is usually positively applied but sometimes negative punishment is rewarding.

Agreement rewards and punishes in positive and negative modes, especially in social context, liking / not liking etc.

Responsiveness to conditioning is integrating ie into a group and unresponsiveness or aggression towards it is disorderly and suspect part of integration disorder as in Japan.

These ideas interest me because of the way people become controlled and try to control through simple reward and punishment functions
