Oh, fuck. Just noticed a glaring omission from reinforcement theory in psychology. Y'know "negative reinforcement"? Of course you do.

More fun: for it to function that way, you have to conceive of yourself as potentially susceptible to the punishment being performed.

Which could just be a general sense of vulnerability. But it also works great if you are personally guilty of the behavior being punished.

@chaosprime That's actually really disturbing. Thank you for that mental image. Of course, it's disturbing because it's true... -
@camlorn38 Yeah, it's definitely the most terrifying thought I've had in 2015. -
@camlorn38 And 2015 is the year I posited that to get from World of Warcraft to World of Peacecraft we'd need World of Lovecraft. -
@chaosprime hm, not quite sure if you mean lovecraft as in the author or as in sex... -
@camlorn38 I don't know why I would have to pick just one of those options. -
@chaosprime Because now you're implying we need a world of tentacle sex. -
@camlorn38 Still not seeing the problem. :) -
@chaosprime I think we need an alien invasion for world peace, personally. That's my theory on how we could get it. - 2 more replies
