Boxes

We may have a complex brain, however what is more powerful is controlling the stimulus to this brain.
Our brain is the meaningless 'ship in the glass bottle'. What is important is the glass bottle or how we understand the
universe
The universe may change from being a 'whole' which contains all of us to being a 'part' of something.

Understanding how stimulus acts on our nervous system is more important than the brain, if you can control the brain from the stimulus it receives. this is a large hyperbolic statement.

When we determine in physics what is our universe, we measure the 'invisible' rules that governs our universe or obeys. We will become so good
at modeling the universe some day, we may discover that we are not in 'base' reality but in a guest universe. We may put a model of our
universe as a clear bottle and put our planet inside so it doesn't look boring.

The point of models is that our actual skin, our glass bottle of our body, is the most important organ for finding 'agreement' and not our 'rat' brain inside. If our rat brain can be directed by its environment through punishment and rewards.

An operant conditioning chamber (also known as the Skinner box) is a laboratory apparatus used to study animal behavior. The operant conditioning chamber was created by B. F. Skinner while he was a graduate student at Harvard University (studying for a master's degree in 1930 and a doctorate in 1931).

One implementation of looking at the 'box' and not the 'person' inside is to measure the stimuli effects to the box which holds or we all interact with that makes a better 'rat' or 'person' inside the box.

Brainwash aka Hjernevask is a controversial Norwegian popular science documentary series that aired on Norwegian television in 2010. The series was produced by Harald Eia and Ole Martin Ihle, and was completed in seven episodes consisting of interviews with Norwegian and foreign researchers who have different views on the nature versus nurture debate.

The important aspect in this series is the model. The 'flat' line signifies that something does not effect one group but may effect another group. When spending money on models which produce 'flat' lines for all groups in society then that is ineffective and produces no results to the rat or person (society).

Our species has a great deal of problems communicating about reality which causes our species a great deal of unnecessary pain suffering disability and early death.

Objective Model: Linguistics

The main point here, however, is that there is (1) the chair in "reality" with whatever properties it has; and then (2) a model of it, consisting of (2a) perception of the chair within subjective experience and (2b) belief about the properties of the chair, e.g., that it will hold me if I sit in it, and then (3) a linguistic model of that perception and belief, namely, the perception and belief "put into words" (one or more sentences). Perhaps the above can be better understood with the following table:

Part of reality Model of part of reality Model of a model of part of reality
Chair Perception of the chair Verbal description of the chair
Chair's properties Belief(s) about the chair Belief(s) about the chair put into words

Reskon, I logged in, as I wanted to read your post. This is truth, your words.
Great Post

This statement is irony isn't it, as It is true.
Our species has a great deal of problems communicating about reality which causes our species a great deal of unnecessary pain suffering disability and early death.

I did watch the video you linked, The Gender Equality Paradox.

I have much I wish to add here, your post is very thought provoking.
Deep and mind opening. More please.

The Operant Conditioning Box which has the ghastly context from the scientist that created it B.F. Skinner.

The Midieval Eval church was considered to be the body of the person, the skin, where we would expect to see in BF Skinner's box where we would expect to see the 5 senses sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.

Statue of St. Bartholomew, with his own skin after being flayed, by Marco d'Agrate, 1562 (Duomo di Milano)

The Roman's had this box classically defined as the horse and rider being pulled on a chariot. The forces here are the senses being disembodied by the rider, felt by the horses doing the pulling, and the reigns being the connection between the intellect and the ego, and the chariot representing the superego, or what is the extent of where our superego is connected with the earth, that being the ground that the superego is the reality that cannot be controlled and cannot also be ignored.

We have a computer that is similar to the Operant conditioning box, in that it also can mimic in most part most of our senses. A webcam on a computer can see (the horses sight), the monitor can be what the rider sees (the stimulus from the reigns from the horses), the mouse can be the reigns grasping of the reigns to steer the horse between where the horses can go and where they should go, the sound card is the voice, and the microphone is the ears.

Hopefully we never make sense or smell from our computer because that would be our computer booting. But, if we keep riding also and never reach a defined objective we crash of over exhaustion, etc. Our chariot on this disembodied horse is to make a better stable for our souls, spirits, or minds.

TV being a Operant Conditioning box, like with the pigeons that dropped bombs on Germany, and then the total fuck it all and the carpet bombing the Dresden.

Today we are much more sophisticated and we carpet bomb the specific targets of belief about out-groups and in-groups and private and public persona. That we wouldn't program our pigeons to do something we wouldn't do ourselves by touching a screen.

So, today we are pigeons that are trained on the screen not seeing ourselves as pigeons and being plucked out of our airspace by peregrines(hawk) watching our path as we peck against the away the way we see ourselves treating an (inverted) out-group ought to be treated.

The set of a stage is mirrored, horizontally and vertically. This is a natural projection of the self in a mirror, as we see ourselves alone in a reflection. We are our hero in our script as we adapt, overcome, and conquer over the failures, failings, and struggles of our out-group and in-group failings.

An actual mirror inverts the left right of the image in the reflection. This would be looking at the outsider in the crowd, where we are in respect to the way we see our belief of others have of our part in the group.

A TV and theater stage may also represent this X, horizontal, inversion with stage entrance and exit, and the position of the left and right sides of the protagonist in terms for approval of the individual in the crowd.

Just Another Lemon and Nobody Is Listening

Also, this can be further abstracted as a TV set can be made inverted, that in post production the video is then inverted on the X plane or horizontally. We could expect walking on some TV sets that the words would be spelled backwards so that afterwards in post production and inverting the video the set words would appear readable left to right.

The only evidence that things are backwards would be the way the characters are acting on stage.

Albert Bandura discuses Moral Disengagement

We can see the many of these examples of what we have previously have experienced in our social learning that the predictive modeling of these behaviors on TV have been de-programmed.

Today we are watching TV that is a constant loser at poker that is helping us cope for perhaps a better hand in the next round.
