Rewards

I used to hate rewards programs but this one is alright.

Iam "Yo! Let's go! 9 bucks in my rewards today! Where did that come from? Nice!"

Hym "It's it sad that the only opportunities some people are presented in life are whether or not they want to continue to suffer at the hands of others? The only rewards a timely death?

Iam "What? Yeah... I mean, I guess... Why? That's not like you..."

Hym "WRONG! It's hilarious! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Iam "Ok... That's what I would expect."

Hym "It was a little forced but, hey, you know what I'm all about"

rewarded incompetence

When there is a task or job function that you consistently screw up so the organization assigns the task to someone else, this rewarding the incompetence with lower responsibility.

Jim was responsible for printing and applying the labels to the shipping boxes, but kept putting the wrong labels on, so it is now his supervisors responsibility. Thus Jim has received rewarded incompetence with lower responsibility.

Societally Rewarding

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."
