    Analysing #ElonMusk in terms of a #SkinnerBox.

    A psychologist #BFSkinner put a row of closed boxes up. Each with a pidgeon inside. A little food was dropped in at random intervals.

    After some days or weeks the boxes were opened.
    And each pidgeon was performing a stereotyped movement, (ascribing agency here) trying to get more food.

    Seems that whatever action the pidgeon happened to be doing when first random food arrived was biased to happen more frequently.

    Can anyone confirm this is true? I don't have a #TikTok account. We know that selectively ranking and recommending topics, videos and posts in other apps is quite powerful.

    Creepy AF, if you ask me. More evidence for my whack job conspiracy theory that all of social media is a giant #SkinnerBox designed to drive us all crazy.
