17 February 2024 - B.F. Skinner

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

The stouter outer doubter and inner sinner B.F. Skinner, who, as you can tell from his name, concentrated on the outside, is an example of what you get when you don't understand your own theory of theories. Science is based on what is observable, and he seems to have reasoned that therefore every black box is empty. Wishful thinking does not work, no matter how contrarian.
