Internal locus of control

The problem with these types of people is that ignore the fact that there are 9 billion extrenal loci of control either working with or against you are all times.

Hym "Internal locus of control or no, it isn't incumbent on me to exist alongside a surveillance apparatus just so that you can feel better about the fact that there is nothing you can do to stop me from murdering your kids. You don't feel that you have to intervene, but you only have 2 options. I'm just not going to allow you to get away with it. I will punish non-intervention. Every day that passes makes the only recourse you have less effective. If you want to hold someone accountable, do it to the people who's job it is to do what you aren't willing to do. Otherwise, go fuck yourself retard. If you wait until you're on the other side of it, it will be to late. If you see what is happening to me, you will have just as much recourse as I do."

Theory of Formal Social Control

The analysis of the organized, codified, and institutionalized systems that a society uses to enforce conformity and punish deviance. This includes laws, police, courts, prisons, military, regulatory agencies, and official sanctions. It is the visible, "hard" architecture of control, backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate violence.

Theory of Formal Social Control Example: A speed limit sign, a traffic camera, a ticket, a court date, and a fine are all components of Formal Social Control. They are explicit, written rules with defined penalties, administered by authorized agents of the state to control behavior (driving speed) for public order.

Theory of Informal Social Control

The study of the unofficial, uncodified, but powerful ways that societies and groups enforce norms and punish deviance. This includes gossip, ridicule, ostracism, shaming, social approval/disapproval, and the internalization of norms (guilt, shame). It's the "soft" but often more pervasive and psychologically potent architecture of control, operating in families, workplaces, and communities.

Theory of Informal Social Control Example: In a small town, someone who violates a strong but unwritten norm (like publicly criticizing a beloved local tradition) might not be arrested. Instead, they face Informal Social Control: neighbors stop greeting them, they are excluded from community events, and their business suffers from quiet boycotts. This social pressure is often more effective than a law.

Theory of Empirical Social Control

This theory critiques the tyranny of the measurable. It analyzes how the demand for quantifiable, "hard" data becomes a mechanism of control by invalidating anything that can't be easily numbered. What gets measured (productivity clicks, test scores) gets managed, and what can't be measured (creativity, wellbeing, ethical nuance) gets ignored or marginalized. Control is enforced by making the quantitative the only real currency of credibility.

Theory of Empirical Social Control Example: A teacher is forced to "teach to the test" because her school's funding and her job security are tied solely to standardized student test scores. This is empirical social control. The complex, holistic process of education is reduced to a few narrow, quantifiable metrics. This controls the teacher's behavior, stifles creative pedagogy, and defines student "success" in a way that serves bureaucratic oversight rather than actual learning.
