  1. sounds good. what kind of home/yard/garden general advise do you have for someone looking into starting more gardening and making better use of yards?
  2. i'm wondering about how successful the attempt is? if the employee is looking for someone without ramp up time or learning, why not ask for a portfolio of work rather than what seems to be a random time period of seniority? the portfolio seems more relevant to the job. some people learn quicker and do better jobs than others, so the merit seems more important to the task than the seniority. for parenting Stefan without a child still seems like to have much more merit than other people with 20 years of child spanking experience or whatever.
  3. after looking at many job applications, it seems many require years of experience for entry level positions, let alone higher positions. these jobs want people with so much experience first, but then in other area's it's not even possible. there is no "must have 5 years experience in peaceful parenting your own child, before you can have sex to start trying to have your own child" there is no "must have 5 years experience in successful marriage before you can get engaged to be married for the first time" so it's like some of the most important roles in a society aren't even getting requirements that entry level jobs in the workforce get
  4. my post was meant to address the entire system of state mandated development regulations , ownership, subsidies. all components private what i was saying is that once all components are private, they still need to deal with or chance current infrastructure. the miles of road are still there, im not sure people would just destroy them and do something else, but they might
  5. make the change not in isolation. the road system is there, take the state control away, and things happen as they happen
  6. i would suggest that state road systems could become private roads, then people can see if companies hate government roads or see them as subsidies that drive business to the company without the company having to pay for the infrastructure itself.
  7. logical, reasonable, and necessary are good criteria for the road rules and norms it's not like a guy saying " i own a monster truck, if you don't want to be run over you best get out of the way" or " why i disobey "wrong way" signs and road norms". normal road rules have right of ways and who should yield to who, so a traffic system being designed that way makes sense. i think it's supposed to be understood that people don't just follow signs, but follow signs and their own brains. like a pedestrian crossing the street, even if the walk sign is showing , still looking to see if cars are following is crucial. that just makes a problem for the blind man if some person thinks he would rather hit a blind man crossing the road than " obey a traffic light". i mean what risk does a driver have of hitting and killing a pedestrian, they can simply hit and run if we don't flat out call that the initiation of aggression and murder or manslaughter.
  8. if it was a traffic light on a private road, and you signed a contract saying you would follow the traffic lights, would you disobey the traffic lights?
  9. how are we measuring poverty? broken families cause poverty could be truer a family in poverty does not need to be broken at all.
  10. government regulations is the answer to the question of "i can't find a job why"
  11. he says disowning a child is against nature, then disowns his child?
  12. im still trying to get clear on the terms do you mean positive punishment instead of negative reinforcement? i thought negative reinforcement was taking something away to encourage the person does the behavior? positive punishment would be something like spanking, adding something to try and discourage the behavior? http://psychology.about.com/od/operantconditioning/f/positive-punishment.htm this article has a note from skinner calling spanking positive punishment it looks like spanking it not even always a positive punishment, when it's done way after the fact and the person does not know what the spanking was for. i think it says the spanking would need to be when the behavior the spanking is trying to stop is happening.
  13. i think i need to redo the example say a person gets a loan, has bad math and can't pay off the loan, having to pay a fee for missing the payment would be the punishment. that way the person is breaking the contract if the person does not pay the fee, rather than there being any coercion.
  14. what is a approach that does affect people's underlying values and does not bully into a false appearance? this would be something i'm into exploring. right now i think i have just read some of operant conditioning. the goal that i would be looking for is that people engage in the behavior because of a genuine value for the behavior. watching the wife swap show, one of the ways one mom dealt with issues was through a sticker task chart with a reward at the end of of filling out all the stickers. it made me wonder about how that effects the actual value the child would have for the tasks if there were no longer stickers? to actually have the child intrinsically value each of the task as their own reward seems better ill look up stevan hayes stuff i thought behaviorism keeps the choice in the equation? the person can choose to do the behavior and get a reward or punishment. some reward for learning how to add, and lack of reward for not learning how to add, still keeps the choice of learning how to add on the person who may or not get a reward for learning how to add i would think a store owner who has no accounting system will likely see results of a worse of financial situation than a store owner with a good accounting system. now there's to accounting for values here but there is still a choice in which route to take right? can communication help this, deep honesty or can people not even measure why they themselves act?
  15. so how valid is behaviorism in bringing about moral behavior with positive and negative reinforcement and punishment tools, what kind of examples could there be? say rape vs no sex vs consenting sex. could a person say there is positive reinforcement for "not raping" and that "not raping is in itself a behavior, or would the positive reinforcement have to be "for having consenting sexual relationships"?
  16. so the podcast has this quote "so i don't know what its like to be in the center of a giant planet of pointy dicks all wanting to squirt money in my eyeball". does anyone know what this is like?
  17. one thing i thought might be amusing would be to take podcasts and edit them so that very short clips can be created. here is one to start out with . i cant i can 16s.mp3
  18. yes, the different faces is the difference
  19. what is the perfect size
  20. it's the easy lose of control that is common in both scenarios if people want to race cars, they can go to a race track or their own private property.
  21. so he was doing what he was doing sober, is that not even worse?
  22. how about some conversations or doing some videos with a partner?
