We do not live in order to die, and evolution does not proceed in order to fill the earth with life.

I'm glad that like every other person with an animal training background will admit to applying training principles to human people. Makes me feel less deranged for doing so.

appreciating media and critical analysis has for some reason made me finally able to read academic texts which is awesome for me but also terrible because im obssessed with the author of my personality psychology textbook

[argyrocratie]

The literatures of freedom and dignity have made the control of human behaviour a punishable offence, largely by holding the controller responsible for aversive results. The controller can escape responsibility if he can maintain the position that the individual himself is in control. The teacher who gives the student credit for learning can also blame him for not learning. The parent who gives his child credit for his achievements can also blame him for his mistakes. Neither the teacher nor the parent can be held responsible. (...) Those who use punishment seem always to be on the safe side. Everyone approves the suppression of wrongdoing, except the wrongdoer. If those who are punished do not then do right, it is not the punisher’s fault. But the exoneration is not complete. Even those who do right may take a long time to discover what to do and may never do it well. They spend time fumbling with irrelevant facts and wrestling with the devil, and in unnecessary trial-and-error exploration. Moreover, punishment causes pain, and no one wholly escapes or remains untouched even when the pain is suffered by others. The  punisher cannot therefore entirely escape criticism, and he may ‘justify’ his action by pointing to consequences of punishment which offset its aversive features.
