The scene at the end of the credits in a movie
I waited till the end of the avengers to see what the yeomans reward would be. It was schwarma.
You aren't socially rewarding anybody. I think that is not only the single most offensive way of structuring a society but serves no purpose other than to condition people to accept servitude. You know that right? That isn't a thing.
Hym "That sounds like some ignorant conservative shit. You aren't 'Societally Rewarding' people when they exchange their labor or advance or they 'succeed in general'. That's not a social reward. People try to treat it that way. As though success is a societal reward. They do the same thing with sex. But their behavior in no way needs to be concordant with any consistent behavioral ethic. They can find vague, amorphous predictors. And sure, I'm sure the data on the predictors is accurate. But that's not the point. Who has the sucess is irrelevant. That it's FRAMED as a 'Societal reward' is the issue and what's more interesting is what I think is WHY it's framed that way. The success isn't enough. They want to DESERVE it. So... It's societally framed as a reward. So that people are motivated to strive for success. So that what they succeed, they get that release of dopamine and continue to strive. It's a 'Skinner Box.' (In abstraction obviously). A conceptual machine much like my Chaff grenade or my money generator. A lot of things are treated like Societal reward. Association. Sex. Success. A portable skinner box sold to you buy society. You carry it with you everywhere you go and then blame social media while you mash the button. But I've said this all before."
people flourishing from supporting our allies and maintaining friendly relations with them.
The ally reward system kept some families billionaires for several decades.
When you get to hook up with the friend of the girl that your mate is going for, because you and the girl friend are stuck with each other and there's not much else to do.
It's not a great reward but better than going home empty handed.
Note that it's not a wingmans' reward if you're actually into the girl. That's tag teaming and not wingmanning.
I wingmanned Kyle last night and collected a half decent wingman's reward.
Instead... Lock them up at the Dr. Phil rape farm and then your staff can rape the bad behavior out of them. Controlling people's behavior is SUPER important because women are vulnerable to psychogenic epidemics! Like the "hysteria" epidemic! Remember that? Remember how women were just labeled with "hysteria" and you could just lock em up? The was cool and Dr. Phil is totally fine with and has actively done a thing that was directly conceptually adjacent to that.
"Don't reward bad behavior" ~ Dr. Phil
Hym "Yes. Instead... Do whatever it takes to control their behavior upto and including locking them up against their will without them committing a crime and with their parent's consent... And then rape them repeatedly. That's Dr. Phil's solution to bad behavior and I think we should all remember that."
The typically-accepted-as-equivalent "pleasure-reimbursement" that a guy and gal exchange in a particular everyday romantic "transaction".
Two examples of standard rewards:
(1) If a guy allows a visiting gal to use his shower, she lets him accompany her into the shower and dreamily canoodle with her under the warm waterfall.
(2) If a misty-eyed guy wants to give a buxom gal a naked chest-to-chest hug, he'll soothingly massage her back all during said extended deeply-squeezy snuggle-session. (A variation on this "contract" would be that if she lets him savoringly play with her boobs and fondle her butt, he'll massage whatever other body-parts that she requests him to soothe --- i.e., her feet, shoulder-blades, neck, etc. --- for a similar length of time as he pleasures his thirsting hands with her "choicest morsels".)
Death; The permanent reward of no longer living.
Here is your reward… Your eternal reward.
