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"
Comparing the consequences to the benefits.
You get to decide the risk vs reward.
When an inmate is repeatedly moved to different cell blocks due to fear of harm from other inmates, guards, or themselves.
That inmate is all being ReWARDed due to his behaviour.
The scene at the end of the credits in a movie
I waited till the end of the avengers to see what the yeomans reward would be. It was schwarma.
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."
When you get to hook up with the friend of the girl that your mate is going for, because you and the girl friend are stuck with each other and there's not much else to do.
It's not a great reward but better than going home empty handed.
Note that it's not a wingmans' reward if you're actually into the girl. That's tag teaming and not wingmanning.
I wingmanned Kyle last night and collected a half decent wingman's reward.
people flourishing from supporting our allies and maintaining friendly relations with them.
The ally reward system kept some families billionaires for several decades.
