Good theory. We should test it.

I don't have any monkeys handy, though. Anyone got some monkeys? Anyone?
I heard Donger has some monkeys

Groups of caphuchins have been taught how to use currency. The scientists gave them currency for performing simple tasks and taught them that different amounts of currency could buy them different kinds of food. Some of the capuchins saved their currency, some of them spent the currency on food as soon as they got it, etc. Then the scientists noticed that the capuchins began exchanging currency among one another (specifically, some of the monkeys paid for sex) and attempted to steal from one another.

Basically, we humans are just monkeys. We are incentivized just like monkeys and we behave in the same way.

and some of the capuchins have this song stuck in their furry, little, up to no good heads. But they don't know what song it is.....

Gahhh, that's so hard to look at, some "friend" she had.

The only good news is that more recent pics of her look almost normal.
Here is a more recent pic. Quite a quantum leap from before.

Based on their progress and momentum, here's a projection of what she'll look like next year.

That's a whole lot better... but I sure hope she got some real bank outta this deal.

Same with kids. I have two boys and they are hyperfocused on perceived fairness. Nothing will upset them faster, and more, than feeling like they're being treated unfairly in some way relative to one another.

The problem with that approach is that, as they get older, it becomes completely untenable. The last thing life is is fair.

The key is perceived fairness and unfairness. I've told them a hundred thousand times that life is not fair, and that in all honesty no one will EVER treat them more fairly than I will. They understand that.

And as they've gotten older, they seem to increasingly understand that while we try to be reasonable fair, perfect fairness doesn't exist.

Couldn't have said it better myself. You're on the same track we're on at my house. :thumb:
