Me:
The solution to the rubber band conflict is simply the realization
that there are other things to do besides trying to keep a knot
on a dot... The solution to the middle east conflict is the same:
it would be the realization that there are other things to do
besides controlling for whether Jews or Arabs control a particular
building...

This needs to be said more publicly. How about trying to write an
article for Atlantic or one of those liberal rags? "A question of
human nature," or something like that, with the object of pointing
the way up a level.
I'm sure you could do a much better job. But I will give it a try.
By the way, your post on reinforcers [Bill Powers (2001.01.05.0249 MST)]
was a wonderful way to sneak reinforcement theory under the PCT tent.
I hope some of those familiar with reinforcement theory will comment
on it (and, even better, do some research based on it!!).
Best regards
Rick
