Fascinating inside scoop on Skinner! Thank you for this eloquent mapping of Skinner’s sadistic principles to now. Digital operant conditioning is crucial to understanding the persuasion campaigns today’s experimental subjects are being subjected to.

And, OMG, now I see what you mean about the fabulous hair! 😹

Tremendous piece. BF Skinner was long overdue for a deep excavation, and you operated your verbal backhoe with aplomb! Very pertinent to link his influence to the investigations of Zuboff.
