“The Nixon campaign in 1968 and
the Nixon White House after that had two enemies.
The anti-war left and black people. 
You understand what I’m saying?
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be 
either against the war or black …
but by getting the public to associate 
the hippies with marijuana
and blacks with heroin 
and then criminalizing both heavily,
we could disrupt those communities…
we can arrest their leaders, 
raid their homes, break-up their meetings,
and vilify them night after night 
on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs?
Of course we did.”

“Where Do We Go From Here?”

        We go back to where it all started – inside. We travel deep inside to closely examine why; to be clear and learn of the things the self had missed and have done to allow all of this to become. We love, forgive, and go on – but to emancipate for our mistakes – pass these valuable lessons on; about the areas we have grown to see are in much dire need of our Natural healing seeds. We ceaselessly educate our young to educate their young, so forth and so on, as we all become healers of such harm to the human race and reach a state where we know nothing less. We go to a place where we all Naturally embrace the notion that harm to one is harm to all. To a place where the norm for all humans is to distinguish their inner power and influence, consistent with Nature’s greater goodness, and from this higher-Self we change our world.

        You opened-up many eyes to a loophole exploited and why. Something many humans must have seen before but were too afraid to scream. Humans with media/publishing power and influence consistent with Nature’s greater goodness – inundate light to these unspoken corners of life. Provide the stage to give a face to such plight and those that stand on the sides. Give a loud public voice to the truth-tellers for justice before they leave us. Help make this the norm instead of this silent storm. 

        We have to create a demand for change to counteract the propaganda that, “we are all ridding on a gravy train”. Repeated exposure of the damage this silence has caused us should be rigorously used as a learning tool to heighten awareness with an empowering finish of how all humans can do their part to help diminish harm by refining perceptions of “need” from “greed” and the monumental worth it would mean to humanity – to sacrifice all else which feeds such monstrous misdeeds. This is a critical tool to heighten awareness about the importance of becoming more selective about who we support with the power of our ratings, the power of our service, and the power of our purchase.

        We are the pillars to this gigantic pedestal. We do the work, we purchase the products, and we frequent the networks. Toxic corporate supplies will diminish if we all seriously demand for it to finish. If we demand change, our individual behaviors must become the force to support such change. If we create a greater demand for products made without the exploitation of another healing for humanity will inevitably follow.

        We must also call on our healer sisters and brothers to distinguish their inner power & influence, that which is consistent with the goodness of Nature, and from this higher-Self extend their moral & ethical principles and honor their social contract, their oath & duty to be truthful, abide by the precept to – do no harm, protect the public, and promote human health for all.


Why are the lavishly paid “leaders” - from our Legal Departments &
the American Psychological Association (A.P.A.),
 Developmental Psychology, Educational & School Psychology,
Cognitive/Clinical & Counseling Psychology, Behavioral Psychology,
Social Psychology, and Industrial & Organizational Psychology,
and other health professionals

not loudly & publicly denouncing & dissenting
the inhumane conditions which humans, (children, students, educators, families),
are repeatedly subjected to within such critical systems to human health & public good
&
against the harmful manner in which behavior control models
are maliciously & covertly implemented.

Why are they not incessantly & loudly calling out for
the much needed reform & accountability
in the manner in which schools & many of these human health
& safety public agencies are managed?

Why are they not joining forces to help solve many of these societal problems
which continue to plague the welfare of humanity &
the ultimate survival of the human race?

Why are they not joining forces to
be truthful, “do no harm”, promote human health, &
 protect the public & the ultimate survival of the human race?



Through commercial ads,
embedded into screenplays & curriculums,
public-access media, exposure to texts,
there is a myriad of ways to educate
& ceaselessly remind all humans that
before they were hired
by any company or organization,

 every human’s first job in life,
in this world that we all share,
was simply to survive,

by following Natural rules.

The farther away we go
from this Natural reality we all come from,

the greater harm we cause
to all of humanity
&
the closer we become to extinction.



Thank you, Much Peace & Love to All.

May Your Lives Flourish With Abundant Reflection & Goodness.

Blame 2 Derange Etiology & Prognosis Hoping Nobody Notices




Blame 2 Derange 
Etiology & Prognosis
Hoping Nobody Notices

Luis Ángel Pérez
Tuesday, January 3, 2017


Searching for the etiology, (the origin & cause), and prognosis, (the prospects of recovery), to a dis-ease is central to designing a sound treatment plan or plan of correction. In this humanitarian quest, one must be vigilant of those with power & influence inconsistent with the goodness of nature; of those misguided, shallow-processing minds that, only for the immediate time, cannot see beyond their nose to know that – to hinder processes so critical to human health and public good affects the entire human race.

Authorities report that Chicago is reaching a state of lawlessness. Some humans blame the chaos and increase in homicide rates on structural racism and abuse of power by public officials and others blame such conditions on wars between street-gangs. However, such “hot-potato” like blame game only manages to generate a lot more shrapnel and smoke which further clouds the minds of folks from identifying the true etiology, (origin & cause), to this dis-ease which in turn confounds the prospects of recovery, (prognosis). Can this actually be the bigger plan? What kind of opportunities does such instability breed for others?  



        The New York Daily News recently reported the following: “Chicago Christmas weekend violence leaves 53 shot, 11 dead.” “Chicago Police say more than 40 people were shot over the holiday weekend.” “All told, the number of people shot in Chicago this year reached more than 4,300 and the number of homicides to 770. Last year, there were 2,989 shooting victims and 492 murders.”

“‘Because of one shooting,
we’ve completely turned over Chicago, and people are dying’, he said.”

Through The Mind of a Middle Age Citizen of Chicago


“Everyone has guns, its like, listen, I’ve never seen so many guns.
Like, we had guns but I’ve never seen so many guns like now; ever!

It’s like they dropped-off, like somebody dropped-off 
crates of guns in everybody ‘hood.
Like its, like it seems like it was designed 
for a … (bleeep) … to loose.

Like somebody is putting all these guns here, 
where you have little kids and everybody,
everybody got guns, and they don’t got just little twenty-twos and,

when we was coming up, it was twenty-twos, twenty-fives, thirty-eights,
Man, they got big guns and thirty-shot clips and … (bleeep).”

Modern Implementation & Impact of Discrimination Training

        Considering the described state of lawlessness and reported increases in crime in the streets of Chicago, on the surface, one would think that the Science of Psychology & Behavioral Modification Models that stem from scientific research known as, “Experiments in Stimulus Discrimination”, (aka Classical/Respondent & Operant Conditioning), specifically used to conduct discrimination training, has proven to be an “epic fail” in controlling human behavior.

The scientific term “to condition” means to adapt, modify, or mold to respond in a particular way. To modify so that an act or response previously associated with one stimulus becomes associated with another, (Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary). 

The scientific word “operant” means to emit by or elicit from an organism without a specific or identifiable stimulus, (Psychology Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary).

        On the surface, one would think that if the implementation of such scientific models were, in anyway, effective in controlling human behavior, they would have demonstrated such effectiveness by controlling and diminishing these rampant behavior problems that continue to plague society and threaten the entire human race.


But have such experiments truly grown to become “epic fails”; 
ineffective in their intentions?


Fill In The Blanks

        We will use a similar template to the ones used in a previous article – titled, Mind What You Learn, (Luis Ángel Pérez, December 23, 2016, http://writing4light.blogspot.com/2016/12/mind-what-you-learn.html), & similar to the one shown below, in FIGURE 10.3, titled, Closer Look at the Variables in Play – to help us closely examine the variables in play in the modern implementation of behavior control strategies that stem from scientific research known as, Experiments in Stimulus Discrimination; (Classical/Respondent & Operant Conditioning), used to conduct discrimination training.      



FIGURE 10.3   Helpful template to use to closely examine variables manipulated to control behavior.


Closer Look at Variables in Play


The presentation of          here is called the Unconditioned Stimulus, (US).

Notice that you do not need to condition (modify) a [   ] to [        ] to [    ].
This is a response that happens naturally.

The presentation of          here is called a Conditioned Stimulus, (CS).

Notice that the [       ] effect of [          ] requires conditioning (modification).
Such conditioned response (learned response) is elicited by repeatedly pairing the [     ] with the [    ].

The                        here is called an Unconditioned Reflex/Response, (UR).

Notice that you do not need to condition (modify) this response because it happens naturally.

The                         here is called a Conditioned Reflex/Response, (CR).

Notice that you do need to condition (modify) this response because it does not happen naturally.





Etiology & Hope for Prognosis

Eliciting a Conditioned Response of “Lawlessness”


Modern Application of Discrimination Training – Example Three:
(Note: to see examples one & two see Mind What You Learn, Luis Ángel Pérez, December 23, 2016, http://writing4light.blogspot.com/2016/12/mind-what-you-learn.html)


        Humans are forced to live in an environment controlled by public officials that reportedly harbor an entrenched culture of racism & abuse. The humans are surrounded with a Surplus of Two Specific Commodities - Guns & Drugs. The humans are also surrounded with Deficits in the areas of Fair Protection by the Law, Quality Education, Meaningful Community Programs, & Meaningful Employment Opportunities, eliciting an unfavorable response, (increase use of surplus in order to reverse deficits).


        If this procedure is repeated several times, [the presentation of this particular combination of deficits, (protection, education, community programs, employment), paired with this particular surplus, (of guns & drugs)], after a while, the surplus, [which initially had no inherent relationship to organizing into street-gangs & no inherent usefulness to reverse deficits critical to survival & to which covert stimuli – such as an entrenched culture of racism & abuse, disparate allocation of public tax-payer generated funds, & the like - were never specifically identified], will elicit the conditioned response that organizing into gangs, using guns & drugs, & behaving violently are the only means to success and survival in their environment.


Closer Look at Variables in Play


The presentation of the deficits here is called the Unconditioned Stimulus, (US).

Notice that you do not need to condition (modify) a human to
use dangerous surplus when presented with critical deficits.
This is a response that happens naturally.


The presentation of the surplus here is called a Conditioned Stimulus, (CS).

Notice that the surplus’ effect of increased frequency in use,
requires conditioning (modification).
Such conditioned response (learned response) is elicited
by repeatedly pairing the surplus with
the critical to success & survival environmental deficits imposed.


The use of surplus here is called an Unconditioned Reflex/Response, (UR).

Notice that you do not need to condition (modify)
this response because it happens naturally
especially when paired with such critical deficits.


The use of surplus to increased frequency here is called a Conditioned Reflex/Response, (CR).

Notice that you do need to condition (modify)
this response because it does not happen naturally.



       As a result, humans are considered to have been conditioned, (modified), to respond to the critical deficits structured into their environment by way of a learned negative association intentionally elicited, (or brought-out), by other humans. Producing such form of differentiation by repeatedly pairing environmental deficits that are critical to human survival with a surplus of guns & drugs, you can condition humans to respond more selectively to survival. These procedures are scientifically recognized as experiments in stimulus discrimination and are scientifically used to conduct discrimination training.

              Charles Darwin referred to as 
                     Artificial Selection?




Through The Mind of a Senior Citizen of Chicago

“…  the police authority don’t exactly like
what we do or the way we live.

We actually don’t like the way that we live but
when you pushed into a way of life,
When you forced into a way of life, how else can you live?”


Steve Bennefield,
The Lost Streets of Chicago, September 07, 2016, BBC News via YouTube


Humans have been conned, 
(swindled, cheated, defrauded),
into believing such baseless notion because
the irrefutable truth here is that
 
there is no existing credible scientific evidence 
to support the claim that
some humans inherently perceive
gangs, guns, drugs, & violence
to be the only means to become 
successful & survive
&   
 that “Lawlessness” of this magnitude
happens in a vacuum.


Knowing This To Be The Fact

Why are the lavishly paid “leaders” - 
from the American Psychological Association (A.P.A.),
 Developmental Psychology, Educational & School Psychology,
Cognitive/Clinical & Counseling Psychology, Behavioral Psychology,

This is like continuing to blow into a balloon
that you know has a hole 
but don’t care to look for
until YOU reach vertigo or finally explode.

Either way, you are reinforced;
all indiscretions annulled,
for the favor to oppress your very own
is the power you are paid to hone.




        These heavy loads of steel shells stubbornly banging on your conscious door, as if desperate to sell more gore, too brazen to ignore, that scatter chants of - I don’t knows - forcing all kinds of hot juices to flow – is nature’s urgent call, before it all goes cold,  to each human working in all levels & branches of government, in all business sectors, in all areas of public life, in the American Psychological Association (A.P.A.), in Developmental Psychology, in Educational & School Psychology, in Cognitive/Clinical & Counseling Psychology, in Behavioral Psychology, in Social Psychology, in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, in all other Human Health Care Fields, in all other Sciences, in all parts of our planet & beyond –


You are each infinitely worth more to life than anything
that can be sold or priced.
You each hold an essential seed
to this “greater than all” yearning to be.

You can fast-fan smoke-filled neuroses to clear the way; 
facilitate prognosis.
Activate the trait that frees you from bait.

Distinguish your inner power & influence; 
allow all foul to Relinquish.

The entire human race & the planet we all embrace
depend on a grace of a far deeper place;
a help that can only be dealt
from the natural goodness of your higher-Self.


Thank you, Much Peace & Love to All.

May Your Lives Flourish With Abundant Reflection & Goodness.
