Skinnerian principles have achieved far more reliable, replicable, engineering level control over behavior than Freudian, Chomskian, or any other psychological framework. Aside from Pavlovian conditioning, show me another approach with comparable predictive power.

@ArtemisConsort It depends on the definition of poor. If you use the 4 levels of income that the World Bank uses then it’s a different story. The very poor are having children while us level 4s are not.

@Mericamemed It’s all good, young ladies are just naive and inexperienced. Time will change their preferences.

@Earthling50bn @BulwarkOnline Yes, in the same way airplanes are different from aeroplanes, and saying “tomato” is different from saying “tomahto.”

@TheOdin_II Ultimate causation is nothing without proximate causation when it comes to a specific behavior. One establishes the capacity for behavior while the other determines the response repertoire.

@KerfySecret You can groom a person into being almost anything. You can’t change the “identity” much but mannerisms, gait, play preferences, gestures, voice patterns, and other gender-coded behaviors can be.

I read things like this and always find it odd that the “environmental component” is so often treated as weak or undetermined. From Darwin’s natural selection to the Spencer Bain principle to Thorndike’s Law of Effect to Skinner’s selection by consequences, we see a clear lineage: consequences shape behavior within a lifetime the same way selection shapes species across generations. IQ tests ultimately measure behavior: solving problems, responding to stimuli, using language, recalling information, and following rules. Those repertoires develop through a history of interaction with the environment. The environment is not some minor background factor. It is the active selector. Why do we keep downplaying its power?
