to train a dog first take a Vow of Silence and shape the behavior first. otherwise unnecessary energy is spent trying to figure out what the signal means.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1353982032645246977 …

the trap of course is environments that constantly provide positive feedback or "trade" positive feedback for other kinds of favors. another trap is environments that only shape through negative feedback. that saps overall motivation/desire-to-live.

from animal training it seems like negative feedback may actually cancel out the benefits from positive feedback. lack of feedback is enough of an anti-signal so that 'punishment' isn't necessary.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1357359798698733569?s=20 …

however it requires that the positive feedback is 'worth it'. e.g. the 'leader' figure has to provide meaning/love/energy of some kind. once the leader loses the mandate of heaven, the positive affirmation loses its meaning.

'punishment' is actually a weak leader's cope. e.g. if your dog doesn't care about you giving it food/affirmation then you can starve the dog. then your food suddenly is "worth" more.

the downside is that the 'no feedback' base-line is set to negative. life itself is constant fear/anxiety because without this constant fear/anxiety the positive feedback doesn't have enough contrast. God is invisible unless you release a demon.
