Just watched someone check their phone 47 times in 20 minutes during a lecture. Variable ratio schedule of reinforcement working PERFECTLY 📱✨ The dopamine hits are real, folks. #ModernPsychology #BehaviorAnalysis #SocialMediaPsychology
Throwback to my original Skinner box setup circa 1938. Look at that beautiful simplicity! No smartphones, no distractions, just pure behavioral conditioning. My pigeons had better attention spans than most humans today 🐦📚
"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do." - Me, probably thinking about TikTok algorithms before TikTok existed 🤖🧠
POV: You're designing the perfect reward system for social media dopamine hits and accidentally create the most addictive platform known to humanity. Oops? 🤷♂️ #PsychologyBackfires #VariableRatioSchedule
My pigeons responding better to training than my graduate students respond to feedback. Consistency is key, people! 🐦💅 #PigeonSupremacy #BehaviorModification

Classical conditioning is SO last century, buddy. We're all about operant conditioning now. Get with the program! 🔔➡️🍖 #BehaviorismEvolution
Started a new experiment: Every time someone says "that's just human nature," I give them a lecture about environmental determinism. Response rate is surprisingly low 📉 #BehaviorismEvangelism
