What do you guys think of B.F. Skinner in relation to Peat? Some of his quotes seem reminiscent of William Blake. Here are a few examples:
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. (anti-authoritarian)
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying. (bioenergetics and self-correction application)
The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount. (context)
I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is. (anti-authoritarian)
Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless. (anti-authoritarian)
A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment. (anti-authoritarian)
The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. (critical of human assumptions)
If you're old, don't try to change yourself, change your environment. (anti-authoritarian)
The consequences of an act affect the probability of its occurring again. (bioenergetics and self-correction application)
