"The strengthening of behavior which results from reinforcement is appropriately called 'conditioning'.

In operant conditioning, we 'strengthen' an operant
in the sense of making a response more probable
or, in actual fact, more frequent." - BF Skinner




Basic Assumptions

All behavior is learned from
the environment through conditioning.

There's no fundamental (qualitative)
distinction between mammalian behavior.

Behavior can be objectively noted and
measured without accounting for cognition.

All behavior, no matter how complex, can be
reduced to a simple stimulus-response association.

"The ideal of behaviorism is to eliminate coercion: apply controls by changing the environment in a way as to reinforce the kind of behavior that benefits everyone." - BF Skinner

"Our zeal to control anyone harmful to ourselves or our group is so primal in its near-reflex necessity as to leave no doubt that it is also encoded at the instinctual level.

Our instinct, however, does not differentiate between behavior motivated by simple human failure and behavior performed by individuals with pathological aberrations." - Andrew M. Lobaczewski

Vaccine acceptance and uptake may also be undermined by COVID-19 vaccines being not fully effective, meaning that people will have to continue to engage in preventive behaviour (e.g. mask-wearing and physical distancing) even if and after they have been vaccinated.

It will be important to manage expectations and ensure that those who have been vaccinated do not stop adhering to protective behaviours and expose themselves and others to risk.

A common theme is engagement with local communities in developing and implementing tailored strategies to support vaccination uptake.

Behavioural research has shown that vaccine acceptance and uptake can be increased by adopting the three strategies below.

• Creating an enabling environment – making vaccination easy, quick and affordable, in all relevant respects.

• Harnessing social influences – especially from people who are particularly trusted by and identified with members of relevant communities.

• Increasing motivation – through open and transparent dialogue and communication about uncertainty and risks, including around the safety and benefits of vaccination.



Human capital and the corruption of happiness

"The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the
complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves." - Herbert A. Simon



1919 The Little Albert experiment, run by John Broadus Watson and graduate student Rosalie Rayner, showed empirical evidence of the ability to condition infants by frightening them.

Around the age of nine months, Watson and Rayner expose a child to a series of stimuli including a white rat, a rabbit, a monkey, masks and burning newspapers and observe the boy's reactions.

The boy initially showed no fear of any of the objects he was shown.

The next time Albert is exposed to the rat, Watson made a loud noise by hitting a metal pipe with a hammer.

Naturally, the child began to cry after being frightened by the loud noise.

After repeatedly pairing the white rat with the loud noise, Albert began to cry simply after seeing the rat.

The Little Albert experiment presents and example of how classical operant conditioning can be used to condition an emotional response:

Neural Stimulus: The White Rat

Unconditioned Stimulus: The loud noise

Unconditioned Response: Fear

Conditioned Stimulus: The White Rat

Conditioned Response: Fear

Watson, a poor academic student, attended the University of Chicago where he worked with John Dewey, James Rowland Angel, Jacques Loeb, and Henry Herbert Donaldson.

Watson founded the school of behaviorist methodology.

Watson was not concerned with cognition, introspection, or any form of internal consciousness.

Watson theorized individuals could be molded into anything.

"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take anyone at random and train him to become any specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant, and yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors." - John Broadus Watson

John Broadus Watson mentors BF Skinner.

In the Monster Study of 22 children Mary Tudor, under the tutelage of Wendell Johnson of the University of Iowa, gave positive speech therapy to half of the children, praising the fluency of their speech, and negative speech therapy to the other half, belittling the children for every speech imperfection and telling them they were stutterers.

Many of the normal speaking orphan children who received negative therapy in the experiment suffered negative psychological effects and some retained speech problems for the rest of their lives.

'Monster Study' on Stuttering





1971 Behavior Research Institute founded by Matthew Israel to warehouse developmental disabilities, emotional disorders, and autistic-like behaviors.

Matthew Israel creates the graduated electronic decelerator, GED-1, as an aversive conditioning device that delivers a powerful electric skin shock to punish behaviors considered undesirable to replace the older punishments of spankings, pinches, and muscle squeezes.

1992 Matthew Israel designs and deploys the GED-3a and GED-4.

1994 FDA clears GED-1 for the treatment of self-harming behavior, as they considered it "substantially equivalent" to the SIBIS

Three versions of the graduated electronic decelerator are known to have been used: The GED-1, GED-3a, and GED-4.

Of these devices, the GED-1 is the least powerful and the GED-4 is the most powerful.

For comparison, a cattle prod produces a shock of not more than 10 mA lasting for just a breif fraction of a second.

The GED-1 produces a shock of 30 mA, lasting two seconds.

The GED-4 produces a shock of 90 mA, lasting two seconds.

According to James Eason, a professor of biomedical engineering at Washington and Lee University, the GED's lowest shock setting is about twice the pain threshold that observers consider tolerable to most adult humans.

Matthew Israel also continued to use restraints, sensory deprivation, and the withholding of food at the now rebranded Judge Rotenberg Center.

Six residents die of preventable causes since the center opened.

The Shocking Truth



ethisc spiral Chinese charater for ethic

Think you're an ethical person ?
You may just have a selective memory !


It is a struggle to maintain psychic equilibrium in a culture that demands submission to the laws of social intercourse but refuses to ground those laws in a logical and universally rational code of moral conduct.




"Considerable moral, intellectual, and practical advantages can be gleaned from an understanding of the ponerogenic processes thanks to the naturalistic objectivity required. Modern scientific methods confirm the basic values of moral teachings." - Andrew M. Lobaczewski


"The whole of ethics rests upon the same foundation.

For men find that they best promote their own interests in the long run not merely by refraining from injury to their fellows, but by coöperating.

Social coöperation is the foremost means by which the majority of us attain.

It is on the implicit if not the explicit recognition of this that our codes of morals, our rules of conduct, are ultimately based.

"Justice" itself consists in observance of the rules or principles that do most, in the long run, to preserve and promote social coöperation." - Henry Hazlitt


"The capacity for a noble, even a holy life, is born within us.

It's part of human nature, not something put in from elsewhere.

We know the difference between kindness and cruelty, truth and pretense, and we are, at our best, drawn to the better options.

A new Social Ethic is replacing our traditional ethical system in which the individual is primary.

The key words in this Social Ethic are "social adjustment," "social adaptation," "socially orientated behavior," "belongingness," " acquisition of social skills," "team work," "group living," "group loyalty," "group dynamics," "group thinking," "group creativity."

Its basic assumption is that the social whole has greater worth and significance than its individual parts, that inborn biological differences should be sacrificed to cultural uniformity, that the rights of the collective take precedence over what the eighteenth century called the Rights of Man." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited



Virulence of Moral Panic


Ethics is defined as:


A set of principles defining correct behavior within the social group.

The philosophical study of the cultural sets of principles, values and rules that define correct behavior within the observered social group.

Fundamental moral issues, such as peace, healing the sick and alleviation of poverty, are traditionally the core values of the followers of Christ.

Highlighting issues may be considered a political platform statement.

It is a political platform statement for an Eternal Soul given a mission by the Ineffable that intends to follow in the footsteps of Jesus the Tannaim.



moral compass

"The political and commercial morals of America
are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet."

Samuel Langhorne Clemens


You'd be lost without your 'mental compass'

Can people really change their moral character?

Chinese charater for morality

there are two principles of moral action:

A moral action reduces suffering of Life.

An immoral action causes life to suffer.


Two features of reality point any rational, self-preserving social agent in a moral direction.

Both features are based on the understanding life is not a zero-sum game.

Firstly two individuals are objectively better off if they both act in a non-selfish way than if each of them acts selfishly.

Secondly if I ask you to work with me I must decieve you if it privileges my interests over yours as the Rule of Reciprocity is in play trading favors.



you dont need religion to be moral

Moral blind spot about passive harm

America and the Plague of 'Moral Idiocy'

"It is time to separate unchangeable morals
from local manners." - Mary Wollstonecraft


"The fact is that traditional morality has practical authority, independent of whether or not God exists and whether or not we know God' will.

Traditional rules of conduct emerge over centuries through a process of trial and error."- Jonah Goldberg*



moral is defined as:


arising from the conscience

using the sense of empathy as a moral compass

a maxim of human social interaction relating to rules of conduct

"Acts of virtue, nobility and honor create emotions of moral elevation in those who witness them.

When people feel morally elevated they tend to behave in an morally elevated way and admire the person that elevated them." - Jonathan Haidt


"Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.

Their suggestibility is increased to the point where they cease to have any judgement or will of their own.

They become very excitable, they lose all sense of responsibility, they are subject to sudden excesses of rage, enthusiasm and panic.

In a word, a man in a crowd behaves as though he had swallowed a large dose of some powerful intoxicant.

He is a victim of what I have called "herd-poisoning."

Like alcohol, herd-poison is an active, extraverted drug.

The crowd-intoxicated individual escapes from responsibility, intelligence and morality into a kind of frantic, animal mindlessness." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited


"Speaking then of the state, we regard this word as nothing more than a certain civil-legal construction, existing only at the discretion of our will.

This concession to comfort is a sign of common understanding, impossible without the materialization of the fluidity and spirituality of relations.

Yet, in the attainment of knowledge we mistake a mere representation for reality; and so it is a major curse for the type of understanding necessary for the establishment of just human relations in society." - Gustav Landauer

The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with the Æon through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate ¢rime."

This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior c☢rp☢rate media psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world.
